Storm World Travels to Tuscaloosa, AL

i-10f4ebfca916cd29d7e0e1ce695f3df0-ALmap.bmpIt seems I am barely settled in L.A. before I leave again. Tomorrow, I am off to the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa, where I will be giving the second lecture in the newly launched "Alabama Perspectives on Sustainability and Climate Change" lecture series. The press release announcing the event is here.

In addition, the book, which has been assigned to a number of UA students, will be discussed in a seminar before the lecture with the following professors:

Dr. Lynne Adrian, professor of American studies

Dr. Fred Andrus, assistant professor of geological sciences

Dr. Walter Misiolek, professor of economics and Dwight Harrigan Fellow of Natural Resources Economics

Dr. Utz McKnight, assistant professor of political science

Dr. Jason Senkbeil, geography instructor

So it'll be a busy day in Tuscaloosa on Thursday....but it's a town I've actually never been to before. I'm really looking forward to it. Moreover, given how well my September Cornell event went, I think it will be fun to have another panel of scholars responding to my book.

Posting may be intermittent while I'm on the road Weds-Fri, but hey, that's why we have a cool coblogger here. And if you get really bored, well, go read Beowulf.

Off to Dallas, Cornell
During the doldrums of August, Sheril and I were both around and posting repeatedly every day--which probably had something to do with our traffic record. Alas, it's fall now, students are back on campuses, and we're on the road again more than ever, which really interrupts posting frequency. We'…

Netroots Nation recap
I know it's been a week since I got back from Netroots Nation, so this is a rather belated report, but I have a good excuse. I was on the road for 4 weeks before NrN, and it's taken me a little while to get caught up again. Netroots Nation was awesome. It'll be in Las Vegas next year, and should…

Kerry Emanuel came to Woods Hole today and lectured to us about hurricanes and their ties to climate change (along with TC mixing and how it could impact climate change..which was very interesting).

Anywho, I got him to sign my copy of Storm World. He said you signed his copy of Divine Wind. :)
