Join LWV of Berkeley, Albany, and Emeryville for a discussion on ground water and food security. The speaker is Inez Fung, Professor of Atmospheric Science at UC Berkeley. Professor Fung is a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences since 2011. She also a recipient of the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Award, MIT Outstanding Thesis Award, and Distinguished Faculty Mentoring Award from the UCB Graduate Assembly.

The climate of the earth is intimately tied to the composition of the atmosphere and the dynamics of the underlying surface. The atmosphere and land surface exchange energy, water and other trace substances on all space and time scales.The exchange is dependent on and, in turn, determines the states of the atmosphere and biosphere themselves. Inez Fung’s research in the past decade has focused on the many aspects of biosphere-atmosphere interaction, with the goal of gaining predictive capability of how atmospheric composition and climate may co-evolve in the future.
