The Mathematics of Climate Disruption
Mathematical Sciences Research InstituteAre the recent longer, hotter, California dry seasons, the declining snow pack, and events like Superstorm Sandy an indication that the world’s climate has been disrupted? More importantly, are these changes predictable? On Monday, March 4, climate scientist Dr. Emily Shuckburgh will discuss the mathematics describing the underlying science that drives the observed changes in our weather patterns and show projections of future change. This public lecture, “Climate Disruption: What Math and Science Have to Say,” will be held at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Simons Public Lecture Series celebrating MPE2013 (the Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013), which is funded by the Simons Foundation.
