Lecture: “Global Warming Guaranteed: How the Oceans Ended the Climate Debate”
Water covers nearly 70 percent of the Earth's surface, so it's no wonder that the world's oceans play such an important role in global warming and climate change. As the planet heats up, the oceans absorb more than 80 percent of that heat. Willis will focus on global warming as it pertains to the world's oceans.

WHERE:
Perry Lecture Hall, Segerstrom Science Center,
West Campus
