Climate Café Series

Searing, sweltering, stifling: How record-high temperatures and a marine heat wave baked South Florida this summer.

Rosenstiel scientists: Ben Kirtman, Andrew Baker, Amy Clement, and doctoral student Lynée Turek-Hankins. UM’s NOAA Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies: Michael Studivan

Stakeholders: Jane Gilbert, Chief Heat Officer, Miami Dade County

Each Climate Café is designed to be an informative, casual gathering that encourages conversations focused on groundbreaking climate science. The discussions will highlight related research underway at the Rosenstiel School so that ideally, these innovations can be applied to help our community adapt in a changing climate.

Moderated by Jenny Staletovich, environment reporter for WLRN, the NPR affiliate in Miami, each Climate Café will feature Rosenstiel School and collaborating scientists, graduate students, and local stakeholders that will explain different aspects of climate science, the local impacts as well as the challenges facing South Florida.

Learn more about how our research activities can help inform policy, while we train the next generation of climate scientists.

Gather at 3:30 pm for a light snack in Salt Waterfront Restaurant, followed by the program at 4:00pm in the Rosenstiel auditorium. Register via Eventbrite links provided. Seating is limited. The series is free and open to the public. The Climate Café Series will not be live streamed.
