March 24, 2008, noon to 1 p.m. – "Global Warming -
Fact or Fiction", presented by Dr. George Maul, Florida Institute of
Technology. We have heard two opposing views on the Global Warming debate
(March 10 and in 2007). As a prominent expert in this field, Dr. Maul will
help us sort out fact from misinformation on a topic important to our standard
of living and to the transportation and electric power industries in particular.
Dr. Maul is professor of oceanography and head of the
Department of Marine and Environmental Systems at the Florida Institute of
Technology, Melbourne, Florida and a Fellow with the American Meteorological
Society and the Marine Technology Society. His research topics include
dynamics of ocean surface currents from satellite altimetry and numerical
circulation models and quantifying climate and sea-level change from coastal
tide gauge/weather stations.
Lunch is available on meeting dates for $11 beginning at 11:30
am from the outstanding Cellar Buffet. Location: Tallan Cellar Restaurant,
200 West ML King Blvd, Chattanooga, TN 37402.
