Modeling Earth’s Future: How models help us understand and shape decisions in a changing world

How do scientists explore possible climate futures, and how can that information help society make better decisions today? In this talk, David Lawrence, will introduce the powerful computer models used to simulate Earth’s climate system and explain how simulations with these models help inform climate-related decisions made by public and private stakeholders. The presentation will highlight how Earth System models help us understand the risks of climate change and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. This includes understanding how, where, and when forests and soils can or cannot be part of the climate solution. Join us, July 22nd at 4:30pm, for an accessible look at how climate modeling helps us better understand and shape Earth’s future.
