BANGOR — The Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine will present a monthly lecture series, “Climate Change on Planet Earth,” at the Bangor Public Library. The inaugural lecture by Paul Mayewski, director and professor at the Climate Change Institute, is titled “Climate Change: Perspectives, Surprises, Opportunities.” It will take place from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Bangor Public Library’s lecture hall.
In the opening lecture, Mayewski will address such questions as “What is the climate and why does it change?” “How fast does climate change and how small of a change is important?” “Have humans impacted climate?” “Is recent climate chang epart of a natural process or in a ‘new state’?” “Where do we go next?”
The lecture series is intended to make the science of climate change accessible to a broad audience. All lectures are free and open to the public.
