The Rutgers Climate and Energy Institute will host its annual climate symposium Nov. 18, bringing together leading researchers to discuss the future of agriculture during a shifting global climate and energy landscape.
The daylong conference, themed “Sowing Change: Rethinking Farming in a Climate and Energy Transition,” will run from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Douglass Student Center.
This year’s featured speakers include Cynthia Rosenzweig of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University; Mary Halbleib of Oregon State University; Rachel Schattman of the University of Maine; and Dunbar Birnie of Rutgers University.
Attendance is free for students, faculty, and staff from academic and research institutions. A limited number of registrations will be available to the general public upon request.
Organizers have set two upcoming deadlines for participants:
- Nov. 9: Poster abstract submissions due.
- Nov. 12: In-person registration deadline.
The event is funded through support from the Frank Sposato Memorial Endowment.
Inquiries may be directed to the institute at rcei_contact@rutgers.edu and more details and registration forms are available on the Rutgers Climate Symposium website.
