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.
