Nobel Peace Prize winner to speak at UNH Undergraduate Research Conference Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Berrien Moore III will deliver the keynote address at the ninth-annual UNH Undergraduate Research Conference on Wednesday, April 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Strafford Room at the Memorial Union Building. Reserve free tickets here.
Moore is director of Climate Central, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to providing the public, business and civic leaders, and policymakers with objective and understandable information about climate change and potential solutions.
His address, "A Faustian Bargain—Yet Grounded in Science," will provide a detailed view of how Earth's climate is changing faster than scientists have predicted, the dramatic impact of these changes on the Earth, and how we can solve the problem.
Moore has been a prominent participant in both the scientific investigation and policymaking aspects of climate change for nearly 30 years. From 1987 through 2007, he was the founding director of the renowned Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) at the University of New Hampshire. Recently, he was among a worldwide network of scientists awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared the prize with former Vice President Al Gore.
