WHAT: Penn Science Café, “A Story of the Southern Ocean”
WHEN: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 6-7 p.m.
WHERE: World Cafe Live Upstairs, 3025 Walnut St., Philadelphia
The Southern Ocean, the vast and mostly unexplored ocean surrounding Antarctica, takes up most of the human-produced greenhouse heat and a large percent of the carbon dioxide people put into the atmosphere. The Southern Ocean is critically important for our planet's climate on both long and short-time scales. Marinov will discuss future expected changes in the Southern Ocean's circulation and physics under a warming climate, and the repercussions for the rest of the planet.
The talk is part of the Penn Science Café free public-lecture series presented by the School of Arts & Sciences and the Office of University Communications that takes science out of the lab for a night on the town. Marinov’s presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
Café events are free and open to the public. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Seating is limited.
