Cornell University is sponsoring the Sustainable Earth, Energy, and Environmental Systems (SEEES) speaker series for Fall 2010, featuring all new speakers. The theme for this year is: the interwoven challenge of energy, climate, and the environment in the human and natural world. The series is designed especially for college freshmen and sophomores, but we are extending the invitation to all undergraduates at Cornell and Ithaca College, local high school students, and the greater Ithaca community. No registration is required. The series is co-sponsored by the Cornell Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future.

The series meets Monday nights, every other week, 7:30-8:45pm in 101 Phillips Hall on the Cornell Campus (TCAT #10, Sage Hall bus stop), and starts on Monday August 30th.
