100+ people attended our March 23rd hybrid webinar (online and in-person in Morgantown): “What Are the Poles (North and South) Telling Us About Earth’s Climate Future?”

Our Wednesday, March 23 audience-interactive climate science education program was our first “hybrid webinar” — combining an in-person audience in Morgantown, WV with an online, Zoom-based audience.  One hundred-plus people attended the hour-long program!  Wow!

The program topic was: “What Are the Poles (North and South) Telling Us About Earth’s Climate Future?” The main speaker was Dr. Julie Brigham-Grette, Professor of Geoscience at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and past Chair of the Polar Research Board of the US National Academy of Sciences.

Her presentation was great! You can see a video recording here.

Our next program will be on Monday, May 16, 7:00-8:00 PM USET — also a hybrid Zoom webinar, also hosted in-person in Morgantown at the WVU Evansdale Crossing Building.  The topic is “Utility Scale Solar — A Revolution in Progress.”   Check out details and register here.
