May 23 - Climate Change and Agriculture: No Longer Business as Usual

Climate Change and Agriculture: No Longer Business as Usual
featuring

Michael P. Hoffmann
Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and
Director of Cornell University's Agricultural Experiment Station


The climate is changing - it is getting warmer, and the evidence is all around us. Springs are arriving earlier, summers are hotter and winters are warmer. Consistent with a warmer and moister atmosphere, we are also observing more severe weather and shifts in precipitation patterns. The decade 2001-2010 was the hottest recorded ever, and the trajectory is set for the average global temperature to continue to warm into the future - 3.2 to 7.2°F by 2100 with smaller increases near the equator and greater at the poles.

The anticipated increases in temperature along with changes in precipitation patterns and greater variability in the weather have profound implications for agriculture and the security of our food supply.

In this presentation, Director and Associate Dean Michael P. Hoffmann will describe the changes that are occurring due to human-caused climate change and some examples of what Cornell is doing to help ensure food security into the future. Agriculture will no longer be business as usual.

When: Thursday, May 23, 2013

Cornell Lacrosse Defeats Canisius in Buffalo

The third-ranked Cornell men's lacrosse team visited Buffalo for an afternoon game against Canisius College on Tuesday. It was a clear and sunny afternoon that provided for spring-like conditions at the Demske Sports Complex if you discount the small piles of snow along the field's fence line. The Big Red, powered by Rob Pannell, one of the nation's most prolific scorers, defeated the Golden Griffs 18-7. Here is a recap of the game from the Cornell Athletics website.

Cornellians Volunteer at Vive la Casa for Cornell Cares Day 2013

For Cornell Cares Day 2013 local Cornell alumni, families, and current students volunteered at Vive la Casa, a not-for-profit working with asylum seekers and refugees from around the world. It is the largest organization of its kind in the United States. Our volunteers successfully sorted thousands of clothing items for the refugee families. Special thanks to Jack McGowan for organizing.
