Texas Tech Climate Center Hosts Virtual 'Science by the Glass' Event

November 30, 2020

Sandip Pal will lead a discussion on greenhouse gas transport.

WHAT:

Texas Tech University's Climate Center hosts the virtual “Science by the Glass” event, “Greenhouse Gas Transport Ahead and Behind Storms: Two Sides of the Same Coin.”

WHEN:

5 p.m. Tuesday (Dec. 1)

WHERE:

Virtually presented via Zoom. Registration is required.

EVENT:

Bring your favorite beverage and pull up a chair for a virtual discussion led by Sandip Pal, assistant professor in atmospheric science in the Department of Geosciences. Within a NASA-funded project, Pal explores airborne remote sensing and on-site measurements of meteorological variables and greenhouse gas concentrations. This data helps to better understand the regional scale fluxes of greenhouse gases in the three different biospheres of the eastern U.S. Weather is critical for the transport processes of greenhouse gases. Within this presentation, Pal will explain how weather stirs atmospheric greenhouse gases and why we should care.

Texas Tech University

A new era of excellence is dawning at Texas Tech University as it stands on the cusp of being one of the nation's premier research institutions.

Research and enrollment numbers are at record levels, which cement Texas Tech's commitment to attracting and retaining quality students. In fall 2020, the university achieved a goal more than a decade in the making, reaching a total student population of more than 40,000. In 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education again placed Texas Tech among its top doctoral universities in the nation in the “Very High Research Activity” category. Texas Tech is one of 94 public institutions nationally and 131 overall to achieve this prestigious recognition.

Quality students need top-notch faculty. Texas Tech is home to a diverse, highly revered pool of educators who excel in teaching, research and service. The university strives to foster an environment that celebrates student accomplishment above all else. Texas Tech is large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics but prides itself on being able to focus on each student individually.

The momentum for excellence at Texas Tech has never been greater.

Climate Center

The Climate Center at Texas Tech University conducts interdisciplinary research to address the interactive effects of climate variability across the full array of landscapes within the South Central U.S. We provide the science, tools, and information to link current conditions with regional climate projections, and examine the real-world decision making and planning that can be used to best anticipate, monitor, and adapt to this projected climate change.
