Weather and climate: its science, its applications and challenges

Lunedì 30 maggio, Franco Einaudi, già direttore della divisione di Scienze della Terra presso la NASA Goddard Space Flight Center di Greenbelt, docente presso il Georgia Institute of Technology e presidente dell’American Meteorological Society (AMS) terrà un seminario dal titolo “Weather and climate: its science, its applications and challenges”.
Meteo e clima sono la manifestazione di un sistema molto complesso – il sistema Terra- composto da atmosfera, biosfera, idrosfera, criosfera e superficie della Terra. La scienza del Sistema Terra è impegnativa, ha molte applicazioni, e ha un impatto sulle decisioni della politica. La sfida degli studiosi è quella di separare la variabilità naturale del clima dai cambiamenti indotti dall’umanità sui gas a effetto serra (GHG) che si sono verificati a partire dall’inizio della rivoluzione industriale.
