Climate Research Workshops
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.
