How Global Climate modeling can help understand the evidence about Climate change. Join experts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration / Goddard Institute for Space Studies to discuss how Global Climate Modeling can help research, inform and educate community members and decision makers alike on the scientific facts necessary to form an opinion and make decisions.

Climate change will profoundly impact Earth's environmental health as well as the world's economic and geopolitical landscape over the coming decades. The impacts of climate change are, in fact, already beginning to be seen and have the potential to effect everyone. Thus, a basic knowledge of the Earth's climate system is critical in order to make informed judgments about climate-related issues and, equally important, the workforce of the future needs to understand how to analyze climate data, interact with computer simulations, and assess the impacts of various climate change projections. To achieve that goal, educators and their students need access to the scientific and technological resources that scientists use in the study of climate change.
