Historical Perspectives on Climate Change: Scientific, Technological, and Social Dynamics Jim Fleming, Professor of Science, Technology, and Society, Colby College Tuesday, May 8 How have scientists gained awareness and understanding of phenomena that cover ...
Sarvesh Garimella is a graduate student interested in using laboratory studies and models to understand how natural and anthropogenic aerosols affect the formation and persistence of ice and mixed-phase clouds in the atmosphere and ultimately the climate system.Video by Helen Hill, MIT
Research aimed at predicting future climate activity has primarily focused on large and complex numerical models. While this approach has provided some quantitative estimates of climate change, those predictions can vary greatly from one model to the next and produce ...

Public discourse on energy topics from nuclear technology to climate impacts to biofuels is often characterized by tall claims, exaggerated risks, biased coverage and impenetrable legalese.
In this short video, Dr. Mark Mba Wright gives a broad overview of biofuels: from what they are to their technological requirements and challenges.
Atmospheric chemist Professor Colette Heald joined MIT this spring as an Assistant Professor with a joint appointment in EAPS and Civil and Environmental Engineering. She received her BS in Engineering Physcs from Queen's Universityin Kingston, Ontario (she is ...
What happens when particles in the atmosphere, especially manufactured ones, interact with water vapor and temperature to form clouds in a changing climate?
The Annual Charles L. Miller Lecture (recorded on 4/25/12), with Interim ESD Director Joseph Sussman
Doodle/comic about climate change: Part of MIT's "Cool Shorts" IAP 2012 Lecture focusing on the creation of short videos on global warming.
David McGee is a paleoclimatologist whose work focuses on reconstructing past changes in extra tropical atmospheric circulation and hydrology. He has explored this area through studies of dust blown out of the world's drylands and deposited in the ocean; changes in dryland water balance as ...
A webcast recorded on April 10, 2013, featuring Professor Christopher Knittel of the MIT Sloan School of Management.
A new study by researchers at MIT shows that there is enough capacity in deep saline aquifers in the United States to store at least a century's worth of carbon dioxide emissions from the nation's coal-fired powerplants.
From the 'Cool Shorts: Climate Change on Web Video' Independent Activities Period 2012 course. The class, co-sponsored by Knight Science Journalism at MIT, focused on the production of several short videos about climate change, meant for web distribution. The goal will be to explore, visualize ...
From the high Himalayas to the poles, the world’s glaciers are melting. What does this mean for your community and our shared Earth? David Breashears presents his stunning new images of the Himalayan glaciers to mark the MIT Museum’s opening ...
