Guest Lecture Focus
Prof. Ali Hessami will present the second foundational lecture focused on climate science building on the initial lecture in October 2024 that covered the natural Earth Cycle, Green House effect, Green House Gases, the post-industrial trends in temperature rise etc.
This talk is intended to conclude on the scientific fundamentals of climate science and introduce a scientific climate simulator (En-ROADS).
The online simulator enables informed users and stakeholders to explore the impact of CO2 and other GHGs emissions on the future global temperature rise through various policy options from variations in the composition of energy supply to transportation electrification, buildings and industry, impact of growth, carbon removal and other sources of greenhouse emissions.
