Global Warming, Insurance Premiums, and Top Models: The Whole Story

Guillermo Auad, Ph.D.

Scientists' findings and projections about the future of Earth's climate are making headlines in the news more than ever before. How are these projections made? Join climate modeling expert Guillermo Auad as he explains the various kinds of models that researchers use to understand and forecast climate scenarios and how this science has impacts well outside of the research community.

The Power of Ocean Waves

Richard Seymour, Ph.D.

Ocean waves not only provide recreation, aesthetic enjoyment and an occasional rearrangement of our shorelines, but can potentially be tapped as a source for cleaner energy. Join Dr. Seymour as he describes his research on how climate variability impacts the "wave climate" of the North Pacific Ocean. Learn how scientists and engineers are combining expertise to harness waves as a source for renewable electric energy production.
