Subject: Fall Sustainability Speaker Series: Sustainable Earth, Energy, and Environmental Systems

Cornell University, for Fall 2009, is sponsoring a speaker series entitled: *Sustainable Earth, Energy, and Environmental Systems*.  The series is co-sponsored by t*he Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences* and the* Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future*. It is designed especially for freshmen and sophomores, but we are extending the invitation to all undergraduates and members of the Cornell and Ithaca College communities, local high school students, and the greater Ithaca area.
The speakers are researchers from all over the Cornell campus speaking on topics of climate change and its potential environmental impacts on land and sea, and the challenges to meet our needs for food, water, and energy. Included in the topics is a session on local successes at Cornell University and Ithaca College.
For more information please contact: Louise P. McGarry (lpm3 AT cornell.edu or 607-342-0628 cell).

Thank you.
