Hurricane Webinar Series 2012
The 2012 Hurricanes: Science and Society (HSS) Webinar Series is presented by The University of Rhode Island, Graduate School of Oceanography in partnership with the American Meteorological Society (AMS), Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE), and the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The HSS Webinar Series is designed to provide educators with an opportunity to "meet" some of the top hurricane scientists in the country, while learning about their research and being introduced to a range of hurricane related topics. Target audiences are instructors of high school and undergraduate level courses and informal science educators.
Each webinar is 1 hour long and starts at 7PM Eastern Time.
Registration for the February 28th Webinar is now open. Register Here.
