More Happening Stuff in a Happening Panama City
The UAHuntsville/CATHALAC Climate Change and Sustainable Development Summer Program Expo
On Friday, October 15th, the University of Alabama in Huntsville invited the university community including students, professors, local corporations, and special guests, to celebrate the success of a unique study aboard program conducted in the summer of 2010 in partnership with the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) in Panama. The Program offers graduate and undergraduate students a combination of professional training, hands-on learning, research opportunities, and cultural immersion.
“This was an excellent opportunity for UAHuntsville students to work with leading researchers in Panama and the University,” said Dr. Sundar Christopher, chair of the university's Atmospheric Science Department. “The students conducted interdisciplinary and value added research in climate change and sustainability issues. More importantly, they were able to get out of a classroom setting and conduct ground-up research in environmental issues.”
The presentation came as part of a pilot program among UAHuntsville, the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama.
