THE SECRET SCIENCE CLUB PRESENTS:

"SCIENCE OF SANDY AND EXTREME WEATHER"
WITH ATMOSPHERIC SCIENTIST ADAM SOBEL

On October 29, Hurricane Sandy morphed into an epic Frankenstorm that annihilated coastal neighborhoods in New York and New Jersey and sent the Atlantic Ocean, Hudson and East rivers, and Gowanus Canal pouring into our homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure.

Climate scientist and physicist Adam Sobel of Columbia University and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory joins the Secret Science Club to discuss the science of Sandy. He asks:

--How did Sandy evolve into a superstorm and why was it so devastating? Are more powerful hurricanes and megastorms in our future?

--What meteorological models and techniques were used to project Sandy's destructive path? What do we need to know in order to be better prepared?

--How will climate change affect forecasting, sea levels, urban storm surge models, and future weather events?

Before & After the Talk

--Don't miss the clement Q&A!

--Sway to temperate tunes
