Climate Change, Sea Level, and Western Drought: Dangerous Anthropogenic Interference
Learn why the American West could be in trouble with surface air temperatures rising faster than elsewhere in the coterminous United States. Dr. Jonathan Overpeck, director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth at the University of Arizona, and recipient of the shared 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his role as a Coordinating Lead Author for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment, will address the trend of droughts in the west and the vulnerability of coastal communities as they face sea level rise coupled with increasing storm intensities. This program is presented by JISAO, which fosters research collaboration between the University of Washington and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_pub = "uwtv";addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, stumbleupon, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';</script>
