Penn Arts & Sciences and Climate Week at Penn presents
What a summer! Out of control wildfires in regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Extreme heatwaves in Asia, the Americas, and Europe, with some places reporting temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F). Extreme rainfall and flooding that caused landslides and turned roads into raging rivers. Oceans that registered off-the chart temperatures—in one case, 101°F just off the coast of Florida. Severe and enduring droughts in Africa and the Mediterranean. Record low sea ice in Antarctica.
For this year’s 1.5* Minute Climate Lectures during Climate Week at Penn 2023, seven University of Pennsylvania experts will share their perspective on these extreme weather and climate events and their impacts, putting together the big picture.
Following the lectures, Paul Sniegowski, Stephen A. Levin Family Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, will moderate a Q&A.
