Pardee Center Director to Speak in BU Seminar Series on Climate Change

Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future Director Anthony Janetos will be the featured speaker at an October 23 seminar titled “Developing Indicators of Impacts and Change in the U.S. – Sustaining National Assessments of Climate Change.”

The seminar will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. in the University Life Science & Engineering Building, Room B-01 at 24 Cummington Street. The event is free and open to the public.

Prof. Janetos was one of several prominent climate change scientists who worked on the third National Climate Assessment Report, a Congressionally-mandated report that reviews the impacts of climate change on the United States. Prof. Janetos served on the external federal advisory committee for the report and is also a co-convening lead author on the mitigation chapter.

This talk is a part of the Boston University Seminar Series on Climate Change. There will be seminars each week between September 18 and October 31 as part of the series, supported in part by a grant to BU’s Earth & Environment Professor Dave Marchant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Science Education Program.
