(Media-Newswire.com) - 11/2/2009 - UCLA Geography Professor Glen MacDonald will present the Texas A&M University Department of Geography’s 2009 Haynes Lecture at 4:00 pm on November 6th in room 208 of Scoates Hall. MacDonald holds a University of California presidential chair and is director of the UCLA Institute of the Environment.
MacDonald’s lecture, titled “The Pacific Ocean and Perfect Droughts – Past, Present and Future,” will explore the issues of climate warming, the Pacific Ocean, and the development of prolonged droughts and wet periods at the California-India hydro-climatic dipoles.
Considered an expert in his field, MacDonald studies climate change and its impacts on ecosystems and societies. He works on issues of current and future environmental change with a focus on water scarcity. His research routinely takes him across the world, from California to Siberia.
The Haynes Lecture Series is held annually in honor of Reta A. Haynes. It was established in 2001 by Dr. Daniel Sui, professor of Geography and the inaugural holder of the Reta A. Haynes Chair in Geosciences. The annual Haynes lecture is made possible by the Reta A. Haynes endowed chair fund.
A reception to honor MacDonald will be held at the Reveille Inn, 440 Old College Road in Bryan, immediately following the lecture.
