GLOBAL WARMING TOPIC OF ROMER LECTURE AT SLU

CANTON - Global climatologist Stephen Schneider will give the 
2003 Alfred Romer Lecture at St. Lawrence University, on the 
topic "The Global Warming Debate: Good Science or Bad Politics?," 
on Thursday, April 24, at 8 p.m. in the auditorium (Room 218) of 
Hepburn Hall. It is open to the public, free of charge, and 
will be followed by an informal reception.
	A 1992 MacArthur Fellow, Schneider has done pioneering 
modeling work in the fields of atmospheric science and global 
climatology, including the relationship of biological systems 
to global climate change. His work includes coupling models of 
the atmosphere to models of other climatic subsystems such as 
oceans, ice or biosphere. Schneider has initiated new research 
and policy directions in environmental issues. His current 
research interests include climatic change, global warming, 
economic implications of global warming mitigation strategies, 
food/climate and other environmental/science public policy 
issues, public understanding of science and environmental 
consequences of nuclear war.
	Schneider has written articles on climatic change signals; 
ecology and climate; environmental policy; and global air pollution, 
among other topics. He is the author of the 1990 book Global 
Warming: Are We Entering the Greenhouse Century?, and in 1991, 
Schneider received the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science/Westinghouse Award for Public Understanding of Science 
and Technology, for furthering public understanding of 
environmental science and its implications for public policy. 
	The Romer Lecture was established to honor the late 
Emeritus Professor of Physics Alfred Romer, who had been 
associated with St. Lawrence for over 50 years.
