PROFESSOR CAITLIN HICKS: WHEN PERMAFROST THAWS: TUNDRA CARBON FEEDBACKS TO CLIMATE CHANGE, 4:30PM, 041 HALDEMAN CENTER
The loss of carbon from tundra ecosystems is a large, looming positive feedback to climate change. Permafrost soils store twice the amount of carbon as is currently in our atmosphere. Warming is causing permafrost to thaw resulting in the potential loss of soil carbon that had previously been frozen for hundreds to thousands of years. Numerous experiments have shown increased ecosystem carbon losses due to warming temperatures. I have used isoshartopes to investigate whether these losses are due to increased plant production, a neutral feedback to climate change, or the increased decomposition of old soil carbon, a potentially devastating positive feedback to climate change, in the tundra of Alaska and Sweden.

AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER, 4PM, LOEW AUDITORIUM
A decade after An Inconvenient Truth brought climate change into the heart of popular culture comes the rousing follow-up that shows just how close we are to a real energy revolution. Vice President Al Gore continues his tireless fight traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy. Cameras follow him behind the scenes—in moments both private and public, funny and poignant—as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.
