About this Event
Join us for the 13th Annual Stephen H. Schneider Memorial Lecture hosted by Students for a Sustainable Stanford! The Schneider Lecture is held annually in honor of Dr. Stephen H. Schneider, Stanford professor and world-renowned climate scientist.
This year, we are excited to invite Dr. Ben Santer, Fowler Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, as our lecturer. In addition to having been one of Dr. Schneider’s close friends, Dr. Santer is a renowned climate scientist who has helped to reshape the way we understand climate change. He was the lead author of the IPCC report chapter that proved climate change was significantly influenced by human activities. In his lecture, “From ‘Discernible’ to ‘Unequivocal’: The Arc of History in Climate Change Attribution Science,” he will discuss his contributions to the IPCC report and his work on climate fingerprinting, which is used to identify specific patterns of warming in the atmosphere, ocean, and land that can be directly linked to human activity. He will also honor Dr. Schneider by discussing his contributions to attribution science and understanding signal-to-noise ratios which revolutionized climate science. We hope to see you there!
The format of the lecture will include time at the end for moderated question and answer. If you have a question in advance, feel free to submit them .
