Date & time: 25 August 2015, 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Venue: Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024, United States
Speaker: Dr Richard Feely, NOAA
Throughout 2015 the Hammer and the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability explore the most pressing issues surrounding the current and future state of water in our series The Next Wave. Over the past two centuries, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have dramatically increased, leading to sea rise, global warming and ocean acidification. Dr. Richard Feely, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, addresses consequences of an acidifying ocean, and whether there is anything we can do to make a difference.
