Hello Allison, Editors,

Similar request on a similar topic in the same place, but, phew, the day before! Flyer to distribute attached. Thanks!

MIT Sea Grant coastal ecologist and climate scientist, Dr. Juliet Simpson, has invited Dr. Wallace Broecker to deliver a lecture at MIT on April 20 at 7 PM (reception at 6 PM). Dr. Broecker is the Newberry Professor of Geology at Columbia University's Earth Institute and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. His lecture will be titled, "Climate and the Oceans: Where We've Been and What's Ahead."
