Dr. Margaret Torn, UC Berkeley

Dr. Margaret Torn of Berkeley Lab's Earth Sciences Division warns that global warming is real, and we'd better prepare for it.

A warming climate leads to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and an increased risk of catastrophic fires, and a decrease in snowpack affects states like California which relies on snow melt for its water storage for the summer months.  Dr. Torn, who is also an associate adjunct professor at UC Berkeley, will discuss  current research on global change and the environmental impacts of human activities. Cosponsored by SRJC’s Environmental Forum.
