On May 10 at 3pm (Pacific), Dr. Brian O’Neill will be speaking about his research on climate and demographic dynamics. O’Neill is the Director of the Joint Global Change Research Institute and studies the relationship between future societal development, emissions and climate change impacts. The institute is a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. It brings together expertise in research, modeling and analysis to advance scientific understanding of the ways in which human, energy and environmental systems interact. The Zoom link for the talk can be found here. More information about the Computational Demography Working Group talks can be found here.
