A physical oceanographer who has found evidence for human-induced ocean warming will describe his work in a free public lecture at 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 27 in Schulz 3001 at Sonoma State University.
The amount of heat that has gone into the oceans is truly remarkable," says Tim Barnett, a marine physicist of the University of California, San Diego. "When you look at the energy, if we could tap it -- we can't -- but if we could, it would supply the energy needs of the state of California, the seventh biggest economy in the world, for 215,000 years."
