The seminar series, funded through SI-GECS grants, is comprised of a broad-based group of over two dozen Boston College faculty representing each professional school and eight departments within the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences. Led by Principal Investigator Professor David Deese (political science) and an advisory committee, the group meets monthly to discuss cutting-edge climate change research.
