The 2011 Mautner Memorial Lecture Series will present two free lectures on climate change by Dr. James E. Hansen, a leading scientist in the field. The first, ‘Climate Sensitivity,’ a research lecture, is oriented toward academics and scientists, but is also open to the public at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22 in the Ackerman Grand Ballroom at UCLA (parking lot eight). The second, ‘Human-Made Climate Change: A Scientific, Moral and Legal Issue,’ offers a more accessible discussion of the topic for non-scientists, and will be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, February 23, in the Grand Horizon Room of Covel Commons at UCLA (parking lot SV). Hansen is adjunct professor of earth sciences at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. Since the late 1970s, he has worked on studies and computer simulations of the Earth’s climate for the purpose of understanding the human impact on global climate. The lecture series is sponsored by Pacific Palisades resident Marguerite Perkins Mautner through the College of Letters and Sciences in memory of the late Leonard Mautner. Reservations (at https://eventsrsvp.ucla.edu/Mautner2011) are recommended early.
