UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The year 2020 tied 2016 for the hottest year on record, and nowhere was the rise in temperature more prominent than in the Arctic. Jose D. Fuentes, professor of atmospheric science at Penn State, will discuss climate change in the Arctic and trace-gas cycles at 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, March 3. The talk will be broadcast via Zoom.
Fuentes’ talk is part of the Earth System Science Center’s spring 2021 Climate Dynamics seminar series. The series focuses on the cutting-edge climate research being conducted in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute and the Climate Science dual-title graduate program in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State.
