Join us for a panel presentation on Prove It's Clean, a campaign to ban petrochemical sunscreens in Roatán, an island off the coast of Honduras. The presentation will go into some background of the island, an explanation of the harm caused by petrochemical sunscreens, and the action plan we are taking to address this problem in favor of the health of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series “Inside a weather modeling system: What can go wrong?”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

In this Explorer Series Lecture, NSF NCAR scientist Dr. May Wong will share how a numerical weather prediction modeling system provides a prediction of future weather given initial atmospheric conditions. She will discuss the challenges behind forecasting the weather with models, as well as how scientists are working to improve our ability to make these predictions. These improvements are especially important as we plan for a world with more extreme weather conditions.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series Lecture – Geography matters! Meeting the challenges of climate resilience with geospatial technology

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) 1850 Table Mesa Dr, Boulder, CO, us

Scientists Olga Wilhelmi and Jennifer Boehnert discuss why geography matters in understanding and reducing weather and climate risks. They will discuss the role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in climate research and action and illustrate how geospatial technology is not only enabling new scientific advancements, but also contributing to building community resilience to weather hazards and the changing climate.
