Since 2004, we’ve hosted the annual Comer Climate Conference, an opportunity for Comer Fellows and guests to convene for presentations and discussion. We look forward to seeing old friends, and making new ones, and we hope you will take the opportunity to connect with us online to keep that tradition alive. Learn more about the history of the Comer Climate Conference and our environment work.
To secure your place at the conference, you must respond by the dates indicated (both RSVP and final registration). Due to limited capacity, there is a waitlist for the conference. If we don't hear from you by the dates indicated, we will move on to provide an opportunity for the next scientist on the list.

Changelings Member David McGee is currently working on impacts of past AMOC changes on the tropical Indian Ocean, with a focus on rainfall changes in Madagascar and their relationship to east-west temperature gradients, and thinking about how these past changes relate to future projections. His group is also using speleothems to reconstruct past changes in the autumn monsoon in central Vietnam, and we are working to understand high-latitude speleothems from Northwest Territories, Canada.
