About the "Climate Change"
Symposium
According to a report from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), more than 153 million
people are estimated to live in coastal counties,
accounting for 53% of the U.S. population.
Globally, sea level rise has the potential to
impact two billion people living along
coastlines. From threats to marine organisms to
water supply, ocean acidification, storm surge
and hurricanes, Florida is on the front line of
climate change impacts in the country. These
impacts, and our nation's current energy crisis,
will continue to require new and innovative
research as well as creative solutions. The
Research Symposium on Climate Change will
highlight adaptation to climate change in South
Florida detailing local, state and federal
initiatives and current climate change research
activities by FAU faculty, students and their
colleagues. This symposium will include a
breakfast, poster display, keynote presentation,
and panel discussion taking place from 9:00 a.m.
until 1:00 p.m. at the Live Oak Pavilion
(LO-31B), 777 Glades Roads in Boca Raton.

various disciplines at FAU will showcase their
research and creative activity at the
Undergraduate Research Symposium. The symposium
will begin at 8:30 a.m. with a breakfast followed
