Join C2ST for two upcoming programs, “In Awe of the Northern Lights” and “Strengthening Our Energy Security Future.”
“In Awe of the Northern Lights,” Tuesday, Dec. 12
Note: We have reopened registration for this event. Since 2012 astronomer José Francisco Salgado has been photographing the Northern Lights from Canada, Alaska, and Iceland, as part of his work communicating science through the arts. So far, his Northern Lights films set to music have been presented with orchestras in 13 cities in four countries and have reached a combined audience of 130,000 people. In this lecture, Salgado will speak about the physical processes behind the mesmerizing auroras and the experience of photographing them. Learn more.
“Strengthening Our Energy Security Future,” Thursday, Dec. 14
Rising seas, food shortages, extreme weather, sea level rise and other consequences of climate change all impact national security. These events can accelerate instability in a region, and fuel conflicts. Join us for a discussion on strengthening our future energy security through the adoption of advanced energy solutions that will diversify the U.S. economy, increase resiliency and reliability, and mitigate the global impacts of climate change.
