This PICS joint SFU and UBC Public Lecture Series are held in downtown Vancouver, where professors from both universities shared their knowledge with the general public on climate change issues. The lectures aims to help to inform BC residents of the new initiatives and innovative research related to climate change and mitigation and adaptation solutions to tackle this challenge
We are planning for the Fall 2012 Series. Please send any suggestions about topics and presenters you wish to see to Nastenka Calle, PICS SFU Program Coordinator at n_calle@sfu.ca.
