Author of Storm Surge coming to UPEI
UPEI’s Climate Research Lab, in partnership with PEI EMO and the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR) to bring a special presentation to Prince Edward Island. Dr. Adam Sobel, author of Storm Surge will give a talk in the Lecture Theatre of the Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre. The talk begins at 10 am Friday, August 28.
There is no cost to attend, but please RSVP to messery@gov.pe.ca.
Dr Sobel is a renowned atmospheric scientist and Columbia University Professor. His book details the devastating and unprecedented events of Hurricane Sandy, using it to explain our planet’s changing climate and what we need to do to protect ourselves and our cities for the future.
Storm Surge brings together the melting glaciers, the shifting jet streams, and the warming oceans to make clear how our changing climate will make New York and other cities more vulnerable than ever to huge storms—and how we need to think differently about these long-term risks if we hope to mitigate the damage. Engaging, informative, and timely, Sobel’s book provokes us to rethink the future of our climate and how we can better prepare for the storms to come.
