Antarctia and Global Warming
February 19, 2007

Monday, 7 pm
Flavia Salon, Marylhurst campus
Free and open to the public
Free parking

The Science Department at Marylhurst University presents a free public talk about one of the most important places on Earth – the earth’s south polar regions.

Titled Antarctica and Global Warming or Why We Don’t Want the South Pole to Melt, the lecture is being given by Christina Hulbe, Ph.D. Dr. Hulbe is a glaciologist from Portland State University. She spent the months of October, November and December in Antarctica and will share her experiences working in one of the coldest places on earth. Her research is focused on monitoring and modeling of ice sheet break ups.

Dr. Hulbe will explore questions about the Antarctic in light of global warming:

  • Is global warming melting Antarctica?
  • Are the ice sheets breaking up?
  • Is this irreversible?
  • Why is the ice important?
  • Should the penguins be worried?
  • Should the rest of us be worried?
