Abstract

What recent progress has been made in understanding and attributing climate change? What do observations of the atmosphere, oceans, sea level, snow, and ice tell us? What are the projections of future changes? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the world’s leading authority on climate change. Its recently-published assessment report provides the latest answers to the above questions and more. In this evening lecture, Jonathan Gregory, one of the lead authors of the report, will explain and interpret the key findings and their implications.

This event is free and open to all, with tea/coffee from 6pm and a light buffet after the talk. Please notify Beverley Harker if you plan to attend, to ensure there is adequate catering (B.J.Harker@open.ac.uk, 01908 655 253). Further information from Paul Williams (p.d.williams@reading.ac.uk).
