Using an Integrated Human-Earth System Model to Explore the Multisectoral Impacts of Global Change

ENR-223 14 College Farm Rd, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

Speaker: Neal Graham, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Abstract: Scientists leverage Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and Earth System Models (ESMs) to study how atmospheric and oceanic changes may evolve in time due to our complex and changing climate. For example, these models allow us to understand how precipitation and temperature may change in a world with radiative forcing of 2.6 W/m2 at ...

Permutable Stratosphere: Overflights and a Geopoetics of Transpacific Top Secrecy (1958-2024)

TIL–246 53 Avenue E, Piscataway, NJ, United States

Speaker: Jerry Zee, Princeton University. Abstract: This talk explores how the stratosphere has taken shape as a front in the shifting geopolitics of China, Taiwan, and the United States. Thinking oceanic relation from the high atmosphere, we trace a history of spyplanes, balloons, cover stories, and clouds to investigate how the gray zones between meteorological research and reconnaissance spycraft continuously throw the ...
