NYAS (New York Academy of the Sciences)
NASA/GISS @ NYAS: NYC Urban Heat Island, Climate Change, Asthma Incidence
Cynthia Rosenzweig, PhD, is a senior research scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and leader of its Climate Impacts Group. She will discuss New York City as an urban heat island, climate change, and asthma incidence. Cynthia works not only on investigating impacts, but on testing mitigation strategies, i.e. greening roofs, etc.
Speaker is cool, she's as giggly a climate rock star as you'll ever find (see her bio blurb on the NYAS site & look up her pubs on http://www.giss.nasa.gov using her last name).
These things often fill up to capacity with smarties & whackos alike (not that it's so easy to tell us apart), so RSVP ASAP, by clicking here.
The New York Academy of the Sciences has moved; it's now adjacent the WTC site. $10 for students. Dinner (optional) at 5:30, by reser, open bar during, & fancy but $35. Meeting begins at 7PM.
