Rather special Beneath the Wisteria on Saturday

A rather special Beneath the Wisteria is coming up this Saturday, November 11.

Professor David Karoly will be with us Beneath the Wisteria on Saturday.

A Professor of Atmospheric Science in the School of Earth Sciences and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science at the University of Melbourne, David Karoly, will join us.

Professor Karoly, who will be in Shepparton with his wife, Susan, will be speaking at a special session at the Shepparton U3A late on Friday afternoon (3:35 pm) and then that evening as the after dinner speaker following the “Cooking for a Better Future” at The Connection at the SPC/Ardmona Kids Town.

Then on Saturday morning, he will join us Beneath the Wisteria in Shepparton’s Maude St Mall at 11:00 am, where he will talk about the climate change discussion and answer questions.

Professor Karoly is an internationally recognised expert in climate change and climate variability, including greenhouse climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and interannual climate variations due to El Niño-Southern Oscillation. 

He was heavily involved in the preparation of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released in 2007, in several different roles, and was a Review Editor of the chapter 'Australasia' in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report released in 2014.

Professor Karoly has supported Beneath the Wisteria since it was established in the last week of 2011, but this will be his first visit.

Some public seating is available for this free event, but those joining us, are encouraged to bring a folding chair. More details from the convenor, Robert McLean on 0400 502 199.
