Please join us for a special seminar presented by Frances C. Moore, Assistant Professor on Environmental Science and Policy from the University of California Davis on Thursday, September 20th at 3:30 p.m.

How do people judge today's weather as typical or atypical?  As the global climate changes, people are exposed to weather that is increasingly unusual relative to historical or pre-industrial conditions.  Moore will discuss how she is showing the experience of weather in recent years, determining the baseline against which current weather is evaluated, and sharing the signal of anthropogenic climate change as subjectively experienced.

Moore focuses on the intersection of environmental economics and climate change.  She completed her Ph.D. in the Emmet Interdisciplinary Program in Enironment and Resoureces at Standford University before joining UC Dacivs faculty in 2016.  Her research seeks to improve our understanding of the economic and social impacts of climate change to help us better understanding our ability to adapt to those changes.  A major part Moore's research involves better understanding how people and socieites will be able to adapt to climate change by using a multi-method, interdisciplinary approach to answer these questions.
