Climate Impacts, Mitigation, and Adaptation Week at UConn

Climate Impacts, Mitigation, and Adaptation (CIMA) week will kick off Monday, March 26 here at UConn. CIMA events will be dedicated to examining what climate change means for the UConn community, the Mansfield community as well as the wider, global community. The agenda includes a presentation from President Susan Herbst, faculty and student presentations, in addition to events with a focus on the Mansfield community.

The week's events will culminate with a Teale Lecture by distinguished climate scientist Michael Mann on Thursday, March 29:

Dr. Michael Mann: The Hockey Stick: On the Front Lines in the Climate Change Wars

TEDxPSU: Dr. Michael Mann - A Look Into Our Climate: Past To Present To Future

TEDx events are independently organized TED events that follow the general TED format, but are organized locally. I came across Dr. Michael Mann's presentation at TEDxPSU on twitter (follow him: @MichaelEMann). Dr. Mann is known for his extensive research in paleoclimatology- including the Hockey Stick Graph that displays recent, rapid global warming.
