On April 30, the Harvard Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences will be hostingythe inaugural Harvard Crimson Climate (HCC) Workshop. The workshop will bring together students from across the Northeast for a one-day event to foster research collaborations on the frontiers of climate dynamics. In the morning and afternoon, there will be 12-minute presentations by selected students, bracketing a lunch talk by the keynote speaker, Dr. Tapio Schneider. The workshop will conclude with an afternoon poster session. The workshop will take place in the Harvard Geological Museum building, located at 24 Oxford St., Cambridge MA.

Student Talks

Talks will be 12 minutes in length with 3 minutes for questions.

Keynote Talk

Our keynote speaker is Dr. Tapio Schneider, of Caltech, whose research is focused on understanding how the turbulent dynamics of the atmosphere, from clouds to large-scale weather systems, shape earth’s climate.

Schedule

The workshop will be held on Tuesday. The event will begin at 9am, with about five student speakers both before and after lunch. The talks will take place at the Center for the Environemnt (HUCE) Room 440 at 24 Oxford St., Cambridge.
