Our speaker this time will be Dr. Eugenia Kalnay from the University of Maryland. Some background of Dr. Kalnay’s high impact work in climate sciences is found here: http://www.atmos.umd.edu/~ekalnay/

 

The title of her seminar will be “Population and Climate Change”. An abstract of this seminar will be distributed shortly.
