Are there any hidden dangers we can expect in the future? Let’s find out.

August 10, 2022: Hurricanes and Climate Change

Science Café is happening on Aug 10 at 6PM at Hopscotch. 

Dr. Chanh Kieu, Associate Professor at IU’s Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences will discuss broadly how hurricanes and climate are related. He will also talk about a way by which hurricanes can be used to diagnose future climate changes, along with potential uncertainties and challenges of this approach.

We will restart Science Café monthly (mostly) on Wednesdays starting at 6 at Hopscotch on Dodds & Morton.
