CLIMATE CHANGE: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR OUR COMMUNITY
People often think of climate change as something that will affect the “world” at large, but we often lose sight of what the ramifications will be to our own community and the entire Gulf Coast Region. Dr. Kremer will discuss the long-term effects of climate change on our weather (increased periods of severe weather such as droughts and flooding), rises in the level of the Gulf of Mexico and the inundation of our coastal populations, and the effects of these changes on our local environment and our county’s economic viability.
Larry Kremer worked for decades in research and product development for Baker Hughes in the areas of refining, power, steel making, and renewable fuels. Since retiring in 2014 he has been a mentor of start-up companies at Houston Technology Center. He has also worked to develop the political will to act on climate change with the Citizens Climate Lobby.
Larry has a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Texas and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Utah. He was a Visiting Fellow at the Nuclear Physics Institute in Amsterdam, Netherlands and a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Yale 7 p.m. Montgomery County South Regional Library, 2101 Lake Robbins, The Woodlands, 77380.
