Global Change Specialists at Hampton Roads Community Roundtable
Posted By HR Partnership on November 13, 2009
Clean Air-Cool Planet, in partnership with Wetlands Watch and Old Dominion University, recently held a climate roundtable in Hampton Roads to talk about the latest science on sea level rise and affects on coastal communities. Two internationally known scientists discussed recent findings about ice melt in the Arctic.
From the “Hip Boot Tour” of Clean Air-Cool Planet:
Dr. Robert Bindschadler, Ph.D., Chief Scientist NASA
Dr. Bindschadler has been an active Antarctic field researcher for the past 25 years. He has led field expeditions to Antarctica and has participated in many other expeditions to glaciers and ice caps around the world and currently sits on the US and International Planning Groups for the International Polar Year. He maintains active research into the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets, investigating how remote sensing can improve understanding of the role of ice in the Earth’s climate. See Dr. Bindschadler’s presentation (PDF).
Dr. Jim White, Ph.D., Professor at The University of Colorado at Boulder
Dr. White’s specialties include global change, paleoclimate dynamics and biogeochemistry. Dr. White is a member of the Directorate of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) at The University of Colorado at Boulder which does research, education, and outreach related to Earth System Science and Global Change in high-latitude, alpine, and other environments. See Dr. White’s presentation (PDF).
