1391 Martine Avenue
Scotch Plains, NJ
We have all heard so much in the news about climate change. Here’s an opportunity to learn about the science behind it. We’ll review how we collect data including the role that satellites play and how the development of supercomputers has advanced the understanding of what is happening on our planet. The goal is to explain in everyday terms what the science means. Dr. Birnbaum taught physics and astronomy at Carnegie Mellon University, Hamline University and UNC-Greensboro. He also had a 30-year career in engineering where he was an engineering fellow and principal scientist at Xerox Corp. Sponsored by The Westfield Foundation.
