"Global Warming: The Scale of the Problem and the Path to the Solution"
(This lecture will be jointly sponsored by the Ram Myers Lecture in Sciences and Society fund and the Killam trust fund.)
Professor Weaver holds a Canada Research Chair, is author of the book “Keeping Our Cool: Canada in a Warming World” (published by Viking Canada in 2008; it will be available or purchase at the lecture venue) and a major contributor to the Nobel prizewinning work of the IPCC. His research focuses on the large-scale ocean circulation and the role of the oceans in climate, with a special emphasis on three-dimensional numerical modelling. Recent themes include the stability and variability of the global thermohaline circulation, feedbacks within the coupled air-sea-ice climate system and possible implications for both past and future climates. .
