Event Series Climate Research Workshop Series

Arctic Methane Emissions: Uncertainty and the Value of Better Information; Plus: COP28 preview

Harvard Kennedy School 79 John F. Kennedy St, Cambridge, MA, United States

The Salata Institute’s Climate Research Workshops bring Harvard University faculty together to present and discuss recent climate-related research papers and scholarly publications. Faculty will learn about current research taking place across Harvard, engage in interdisciplinary dialogues, and forge connections and research collaborations. The Fall 2023 Workshops will primarily focus on methane emissions and mitigation, led by the Salata Institute’s Climate Research Cluster on Reducing Global Methane Emissions.

Where are the emissions: Unravelling small and large methane sources in the US oil and gas sector

Pierce Hall 29 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Worldwide concerns over the catastrophic impacts of unmitigated climate change have motivated governments, industry, and interested stakeholders toward the development, adoption, and implementation of strategic actions to quickly reduce the global emissions of climate warming pollutants. This presentation will unpack the past decade of scientific research on US oil and gas methane emissions, exploring the various methane emissions measurement approaches across multiple spatial scales as well as the major themes in the literature regarding the characteristics of facility-level methane emissions, basin-to-basin variability, and the relative importance of small methane sources compared to large methane emitters.

Conifer Walk

Arnold Arboretum

What is a conifer, exactly? How is it different from an evergreen, or a gymnosperm? Join docent Paul Eldrenkamp as he leads us through the different types of conifers and how to identify them, the reasons behind their distinctive needle-like forms, and their rise and fall in evolutionary history.

International Mitigation Finance: Carbon Mitigation, Welfare, and Optimal Recipient Design

Pierce Hall 29 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Naixin Huang is a Ph.D. candidate in economics from Tsinghua University. Her research with HCP research associate Dr. Mun S. Ho and visiting Prof. Jing Cao focuses on the global carbon price floor's welfare effects and optimal design. The 2°C goal is challenging to reach, and it will be essential to consider the international differences in mitigation costs and benefits. IMF (2021) proposes a system of global carbon prices in which countries at different economic levels assign different carbon prices. Using a global trade model, she and colleagues seek to illustrate the impact of such a differentiated price floor system. Then, they seek an alternative design for the worldwide carbon price floor. Besides the global carbon price floor, she and visiting Prof. Jing Cao also researched international climate finance’s welfare effects and optimal design.

Climate & Sustainability Graduate Student Gathering

Harvard University Center for the Environment 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Join the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability for a gathering of graduate students from across campus engaged in research on climate change issues.

The first hour of the event will include a series of five-minute "speed talks" by students on their research, which will be followed by a reception with food, beverages, and the opportunity to connect. The event is part of the Institute’s ongoing efforts to convene students to foster collaboration and identify ways to support their academic goals.

Foraging Walk: Tea Time at the Arboretum

Arnold Arboretum

Join us for a winter foraging walk to learn what wild plants can be foraged and brewed into tea. Visit some of the Arboretum's tastiest winter plants, from sweet birch and sweet fern to sassafras and spicebush. You may even get to taste some of the teas yourself!
