One of the world's leading climate scientists, Professor Inez Fung of UC Berkeley, will speak at Sonoma State University Monday, April 7.
Her lecture, "The Warming Will Accelerate the Warming," will be at 4 p.m. in Darwin 103. Part of the "What Physicists Do" series, it is free and open to the public.
Fung, co-director of the Berkeley Institute of the Environment, is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, recipient of the prestigious Roger Revelle Medal of the American Geophysical Union, and listed among the "Scientific American 50" for 2005. She also received the World Technology Network Award for the Environment in 2006.
Fung has been making sophisticated models of the earth’s atmosphere for more than twenty years, computing the variations in carbon dioxide and dust and how they interact with the climate. Her research contributed to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, which shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
