Annalisa Bracco, Professor and Associate Chair in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and IHE-LeaD faculty advisor, will be speaking about ‘ Indian Ocean interannual to decadal variability and malaria outbreaks in India‘. After coffee and cookies at 10am, the presentation will start at 10:30am in Petit Biotech Building, Suddath Seminar Room 1128.
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe linkages between malaria outbreaks and interannual climate variability modes of the Indo-Pacific basin, and the influence of the tropical Atlantic.
I will review current understanding, modeling challenges (what climate models can and cannot capture the observed variations), and the (very) uncertain climate change outlooks.
