Seminar presentations#

The first cohort of Climatematch Impact Scholars shared their work in a series of seminars chaired by scientists from our collaborating organizations, CMIP and LEAP.

These seminars were open to the public.

The last 30 minutes of each event were dedicated to networking sessions between the presenting scholars and scientists from CMIP and LEAP.
