Shaping Global Climate Policy

Dartmouth professors Erin Mayfield (Thayer), Melody Brown Burkins (ENVS), and Hélène Seroussi (Thayer) will discuss how their scholarship is helping shape global climate policy at the highest levels, from work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and G7 to global collaborations advancing critical predictions of sea-level rise. Free and open to the public, tickets required, register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986936024135?aff=oddtdtcreator The event will be recorded and livestreamed, register for the livestream: https://dartmouth.zoom.us/.../WN_xi1jdfSkS9qj0G63D2DGjQ More information: https://home.dartmouth.edu/events/event?event=81286&begin=2026-04-21&offset=0&limit=10 --- Erin Mayfield, the Hodgson Family Assistant Professor of Engineering, is a lead author for the Seventh Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization under the auspices of the United Nations that recommends measures for mitigating climate change based on a thorough, yearslong analysis of the latest science. Melody Brown Burkins, Guarini ’95, ’98, director of the Institute of Arctic Studies and the UArctic Chair in Science Diplomacy and Inclusion at Dartmouth, is representing the United States as one of seven international experts compiling a report on critical issues facing the global Arctic ahead of the 52nd G7 Summit scheduled for June. Hélène Seroussi, an associate professor of engineering, is leading the science team modeling the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet for the seventh Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project. ISMIP7 consists of a global network of scientists who will simulate changes in ice sheets worldwide to inform the AR7’s projection of future sea-level rise due to the loss of ice mass.
