NSF NCAR Explorer Series Lecture “When the lobsters march north: From expensive models to collaborative solutions to save America’s coral reef”

NCAR Mesa Lab 1850 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, CO 80305

What is the future we want for America's largest coral reefs? These delicate ecosystems support marine life and human endeavors, but climate change is threatening the existence of these natural, and human communities, alike. There are several climate models addressing marine life impacts, however the cost to run models is a barrier to the communities who need them most. Together with the model metrics and insight from community members, this research will provide adaptation techniques that are meaningful to the local community.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series Conversation “Deep dive into the heart of the Derecho supercomputer”

Virtual

Have you ever looked inside a supercomputer? Join a guided tour inside Derecho, NSF NCAR's newest supercomputer! We will dive deep into the heart of the machine, exploring the processors, memory, and specialized components that keep it running cool and communicating. You'll see firsthand how thousands of these nodes working together form the Derecho supercomputer.

NSF NCAR Explorer Series Conversation “¡Descifrando los secretos de la atmósfera con GPS!”

Virtual

En esta Conversación de la Serie del Explorador, platicamos con Valentina Petroni para aprender un poco más acerca de la ciencia de radio ocultación, y su trabajo monitoreando los satélites y el procesamiento de los datos. También nos contará sobre la importancia de este método de estudiar la atmósfera, con un proyecto en el que participa llamado ROMEX. This is a free public event for ages 12+ and will be hosted entirely in Spanish!

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 at the Longmont Museum “Atmospheric rivers in a changing climate: How rivers in the sky could change”

Longmont Museum 400 Quail Road, Longmont

On Thursday, October 17th from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm (MT), the Longmont Museum welcomes NSF NCAR scientist Christine Shields for a lecture, "Atmospheric rivers in a changing climate: How rivers in the sky could change". This lecture will be presented in person at the Longmont Museum, and also online through multiple outlets listed on their website. Reservations are recommended for in person attendees.
