Whether you call it global warming or global climate change, this hot topic has been in the news more of late than ever before. Dr. Jeff Clark, Professor of Geology and Environmental Studies at Lawrence, will dissect the debate in a lecture at the Pacific Science Center. Jeff will present the basic evidence for climate change and place recent changes in the context of the geologic past. Has the climate changed before? Are humans the cause of recent change? And, what, if anything, can or should we do about it? We will explore the science behind the issue, and also discuss how the United States might act.
All Seattle area Lawrence alumni, parents, and friends are warmly invited to join us for this interesting presentation and breakfast at the Pacific Science Center on Saturday, March 10, 2007. After the breakfast and lecture, you will be free to explore the exhibits at the Pacific Science Center, including a special exhibit called "Treasures of NOAA's Ark". This exhibit details the history of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and shows how NOAA charts the seas, protects and conserves marine resources, and detects tsunamis. Science Center tickets will be distributed at breakfast.
We hope you can join us. Bring your family and friends!

Following her New York debut, the New York Times called her "a pianist who can play Mozart and Schubert as though their sentiments and habits of speech coincided exactly with hers. . . . She gave these pieces nuances that made them meaningful on a human, everyday level. The music spoke directly to the listener, with neither obfuscation nor pretense."
Professor Kautsky will help us understand Debussy's piano works in relation to the artists and poets that inspired them. Come enjoy her slides and lecture, and listen to Debussy performed in relation to paintings and the spoken word.
