Susan Solomon presented the first of what will be an annual lecture in honor of Swedish scientist Bert Bolin, who passed away in late 2007. Bolin was one of the world's leading climate researchers, and he was the first chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The Bert Bolin Lecture on Climate Research took place on May 26 at Stockholm University, where Bolin was a Professor Emeritus at the Department of Meteorology. Susan spoke on "Linkages Between Ozone Depletion and Climate Change: Evolution of the Science and Connections to Public Policy."
Significance: This activity contributes to NOAA's Climate Goal and to NOAA's cross-cutting priorities on promoting environmental literacy and exercising international leadership.
