SUMMARY:CANCELLED Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED \nSpeaker: Michael E. Mann\, University of Pennsylvania  \nAbstract: For the vast majority of its 4.54 billion years\, Earth has proven it can manage just fine without human beings. Then came the first proto-humans\, who emerged just a little more than 2 million years ago—a fleeting moment in geological time. What is it that made this benevolent moment of ours possible? Ironically\, it’s the very same thing that now threatens us—climate change. The drying of the tropics during the Pleistocene period created a niche for early hominids\, who could hunt prey as forests gave way to savannahs in the African tropics. The sudden cooling episode known as the “Younger Dryas” 13\,000 years ago\, which occurred just as Earth was thawing out of the last Ice Age\, spurred the development of agriculture in the fertile crescent. The “Little Ice Age” cooling of the 16th-19th centuries led to famines and pestilence for much of Europe\, yet it was a boon for the Dutch\, who were able to take advantage of stronger winds to shorten their ocean voyages. The conditions that allowed humans to live on this earth are fragile\, incredibly so. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit\, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there’s a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable. And our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range. In this talk\, I will arm readers with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis\, while emboldening them—and others—to act before it truly does become too late. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Exceptional Stratospheric Contribution to Human Fingerprints  on Atmospheric Temperature
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Santer will give a technical talk titled “Exceptional Stratospheric Contribution to Human Fingerprints on Atmospheric Temperature”. The talk is hybrid and will take place on Nov. 12\, 2024\, at 3:30 PM in the Alampi Room\, Marine and Coastal Sciences Building and Webinar through Zoom\, with this registration link. This event is co-sponsored by RCEI and Rutgers Graduate Program in Atmosperic Sciences. Below is Dr. Santer’s description for the talk: \nIn 1967\, Suki Manabe and Richard Wetherald used a simple climate model to predict that human-caused increases in atmospheric CO2 should warm Earth’s troposphere and cool the stratosphere. This important signature of anthropogenic climate change was subsequently documented in weather balloon and satellite temperature measurements extending from near-surface to the lower stratosphere. Stratospheric cooling has also been confirmed in the mid- to upper stratosphere\, a layer extending from roughly 25 to 50 km above Earth’s surface (S25-50). Until recently\, however\, S25-50 temperatures had not been used in pattern-based attribution studies of anthropogenic climate change. \nMy talk describes the first such “fingerprint” study\, with satellite-derived patterns of temperature change extending from the lower troposphere to the upper stratosphere. Including S25-50 information increases signal-to-noise ratios by a factor of five\, markedly enhancing fingerprint detectability. Key features of this global-scale human fingerprint include stratospheric cooling and tropospheric warming at all latitudes\, with stratospheric cooling amplifying with height. In contrast\, the dominant modes of internal variability in S25-50 have smaller-scale temperature changes and lack uniform sign. These pronounced spatial differences between the S25-50 signal and noise patterns are accompanied by large cooling of the S25-50 layer (1-2°C over 1986 to 2022) and low S25-50 noise levels. Our results explain why extending “vertical fingerprinting” to the mid- to upper stratosphere yields incontrovertible evidence of human effects on the thermal structure of Earth’s atmosphere. \nThe end of my talk will consider a simple thought experiment: If satellite temperature data had existed in 1860\, when could a human fingerprint on atmospheric temperature have been first detected? I will address this question with output from CMIP6 simulations of historical climate change.

SUMMARY:FEMS Webinar on Microbial Impacts Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Max Häggblom\, Rutgers University; Cornelia U Welte\, Radboud University; Susanne Liebner\, Helmholtz Centre Potsdam; Joel E Kostka\, Georgia Institute of Technology.  \nAbstract: \nJoin us for the FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Microbial Impacts of Climate Change\, an enlightening exploration into the pivotal role of microbial communities in our evolving climate. This session will explore the latest research uncovering how microorganisms in diverse ecosystems—from urban canals to Arctic coastlines—are responding to and influencing environmental changes. \nDiscover the significant impacts microbes have on greenhouse gas dynamics and ecosystem transformations\, shedding light on potential strategies for mitigating climate change impacts. This webinar is tailored for microbiologists\, students\, and environmental enthusiasts eager to connect microbial activity with global environmental shifts. The timing is significant\, as this webinar is due to be broadcast as the last day of the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference\, more commonly known as COP29\, takes place. \nMore information here.

SUMMARY:Using an Integrated Human-Earth System Model to Explore the Multisectoral Impacts of Global Change
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Neal Graham\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.  \nAbstract: 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 the end of the century However\, what these models often miss are the influences brought upon by humans\, and the feedbacks brought upon by decision-making which alter the supply and demand of energy\, water\, and land around the world. During this talk\, I will discuss the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM)\, the types of research questions that we seek to answer using GCAM\, and how this work leads to tangible changes around the world. Additionally\, I will discuss how the complexities of global and regional energy-water-land nexus plays a role in how we think about water supply and demand in the future. Finally\, I will highlight the how future agricultural trade\, under varying degrees of globalization\, future energy transitions\, and socioeconomic growth may drive multisectoral feedbacks which change energy\, water\, and land availability around the world\, for better or worse. \nVirtual option available.  \nMore information here.
