Department of Estuarine and Ocean Sciences
Seminar Announcement
"Ocean Variability from the Surface to the Abyss"
Dr. Baylor Fox-Kemper
Assistant Professor
Earth, Environmental & Planetary Sciences
Brown University
Wednesday, September 30, 2015
12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
SMAST I, Room 204
706 S. Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA
Abstract:
The ocean is the primary reservoir of thermal energy in the earth system. As greenhouse gasses affect the planetary energy balance, key ways to track and predict energy variability are ocean observations and modeling. However, to go beyond rough trend estimates, there are major challenges in observation, understanding, modeling, and prediction to be overcome. This talk will describe and quantify some of the challenges, processes, and observational analyses involved.
Note: Seminar will be simulcast to SMAST II, Room 325.
