Global Climate Change Lecture Series
The Learning Technologies Center (LTC) is videotaping and creating podcasts for the Global Climate Change Lecture Series put on by the UA College of Science at Centennial Hall on campus.
The seven-part series began October 17 and concludes November 28 for one hour each Tuesday evening at Centennial Hall on campus. The podcasts are available on the LTC’s podcasting Web site within one week of each lecture.
The series’ content is spelled out in a statement by the college, “Our planet is in the midst of significant global climate change that has great potential for affecting the way we live. Scientists are observing increases in temperature, changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, shifts in water availability and vegetation, and changes in patterns of disease. UA’s College of Science is proud to present seven lectures that will discuss how climate interacts with our biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and will offer ways to mitigate global climate changes through technology and policy.”
