The Spring 2022 Program on Climate change Seminar Series focuses on Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability. Everyone is welcome to attend.  Each week, we will have an expert speak about their work that touches on one of these three topics.  All seminars will be in person in OCN 425 at 3:30 on tuesdays except for on April 26 when it will be virtual. You will be able to watch the seminar series remotely if you are not able to attend in person, however, you will not be able to ask questions either in person or on chat

Participating graduate students register for ATM S/ESS or OCEAN 586 (2 cr, GCeCS requirement) and undergraduates register for ATM S/ESS or OCEAN 475 (3 cr, climate minor capstone requirement). Undergraduates in the 475 course meet 3:30-4:50 pm on both Tuesday and Thursday.
