Scientists play a crucial role in understanding the climate crisis by researching its causes and predicting its impacts. For decades, our colleagues in the physical, natural and social sciences have sounded the alarm about the consequences of global warming, warnings that have largely been ignored among those for whom this crisis constitutes an “inconvenient truth.”
Dean’s Awards recognize 10 outstanding Baskin Engineering student-research projects.
For the first time, a UC Santa Cruz computer programming team will compete in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) North America Championship (NAC) taking place May 23-28, in Florida.
