Climate Discussion: Christians, Climate & Our Culture
2019-04-16 17:00 - 20:00 | Thurman J. White Forum Building, 1704 Asp Ave, Norman, OK, 73072, United States
Join Dr. Katharine Hayhoe for a riveting climate discussion. Accomplished atmospheric scientist, professor and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Hayhoe is recognized for her research on climate change, one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today, although she may be best-known for bridging the broad gap between scientists and Christians- work she does in part because she’s a Christian herself. She’s been named by Christianity Today as one of their 50 Women to Watch and currently hosts the PBS digital series, Global Weirding: Climate, Politics and Religion.
Katherine has also served as a lead author for the Second, Third and Fourth U.S. National Climate Assessments. Recipient of the National Center for Science Education’s Friend of the Planet award, the American Geophysical Union’s Climate Communication Prize, the Sierra Club’s Distinguished Service Award, and the Stephen H. Schneider Climate Communication Award. Hayhoe is also named one TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and Fortune’s 50 World’s Greatest Leaders.

3 Minute Thesis Competition
2019-02-23 13:30 - 15:00 | Meacham Auditorium (Oklahoma Memorial Union-OU), Norman, Oklahoma
We would like to extend our congratulations to Paulina Ćwik, for being selected to the University of Oklahoma’s Three Minute Thesis final competition!
During her presentation, she will discuss her thesis pertaining to the recognition and description of large-scale atmospheric patterns associated with tornado outbreak occurrences. Identification of those patterns requires analysis of atmospheric fields, such as geopotential heights, temperatures or precipitation that occurs during or shortly before the biggest historic outbreaks. The idea is to find patterns that occurred most often and describe them so this knowledge can be used in future tornado outbreak prediction efforts.
