The Meet the Experts Series is back with the first program of the Fall. Join the UCAR Center for Science Education as we talk with experts to learn about what they do in their work, the highlights and challenges, and how it impacts us and our world. This  program is designed for middle and high school students, but anyone is welcome! Find out more about the series and register on the Meet the Experts page.

Wednesday, 05 October 2022: Predicting the Future with Global Climate Models
Our planet’s air, ocean, ice, land, humans, and much more are continuously interacting to create our complex Earth system. Thousands of climate researchers use Earth system models made up of thousands of math equations run on supercomputers to create an accurate representation of the whole planet. The most robust Earth system models are compared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in reports that summarize predictions of future climate change. Join us this month to discover how climate scientists like Cecile Hannay work everyday to improve global climate models to accurately simulate conditions over hundreds of years, so that we can better predict how our planet's climate will likely change.

There are  for this program; 11:00 am - 11:45 am MDT and 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm MDT. It's a casual presentation followed by Q&A and facilitated on Zoom. Automatic closed captioning is available. Questions can be submitted in advance if you have students who cannot attend the session live and the recording will be available shortly after. More details and Zoom registration can be found on the Meet the Experts page.

Any questions about these sessions can go to our School and Public Programs Team.

Please share this program!
