GECO Climate Change Talks: Spring 2009 March 25th, 2009
Interested in climate change research? Want to know what’s going on at other departments on campus? This Spring term, take the opportunity to learn about climate change research here at OSU. Come attend GECOs (the Global Environmental Change Organization) Climate Change Talks, Wednesdays at 3:30pm in Burt Hall 193.
Upcoming Talk: “ENSO and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation: a paradigm for Pacific Low-Frequency Variability” March 21st, 2009
Emanuele (Manu) Di Lorenzo will be visiting Monday-Wed, March 30 – April 1 and will give a seminar at the PO seminar time, 3:30 PM (193 Burt) Tuesday, March 31, titled:
“ENSO and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation: a paradigm for Pacific Low-Frequency Variability”
Manu is visiting to work with me (Ted Strub) on GLOBEC synthesis research. He is also a possible candidate for faculty hire of opportunity. He would like to visit with others interested in his research topics. They are:
Basin-to-boundary scale ocean circulation modeling, from events to 50-year decadal-scale climate variability. Data assimilation techniques for ocean models; coupled atmosphere-ocean models; coupled ecosystem-circulation models.
Manu has a strong interest in working with biologists on bio-physical models, with an emphasis on climate variability (interannual to decadal). He leads our Pan-Regional GLOBEC team, with PO and BO team members from Georgia Tech, OSU, HMSC-NMFS, Monterey-NMFS/ERD, SIO, UW, U. Maine.
Let me (Ted Strub) know if you would like to talk with Manu while he is here.
His web page has his CV and other details.
