Join Dr. Mary-Louise Timmermans, Damon Wells Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University, for a presentation about how the Arctic Ocean’s Beaufort Gyre is a dominant feature of the Arctic system, a prominent indicator of climate change, and possibly a control factor for high-latitude climate.

At the fall 2022 Climate Change Hackathon, seven interdisciplinary student teams presented solutions to climate change problem spaces at the final pitch competition. The teams were mentored by Waterloo Climate Institute members Dr. Juan Moreno-Cruz, Dr. Marta Berbés-Blázquez, and Dr. Joyce Kim, including the winning team H2GRO who secured the top prize of $5,000!
