SPEAKER: Jeffrey Hall, Ph.D., Astrophysics; Director, Lowell Observatory
COMMENTS: Jeff studies the Sun and Sun-like stars. He works on Lowell’s Solar-Stellar Spectrograph project (SSS) for long-term monitoring of the Sun and solar-like stars to learn more about the Sun and its effects on Earth’s climate. Jeff and colleague Wes Lockwood have accumulated over 5,000 observations of the Sun and more than 20,000 of Sun-like stars. During his presentation Dr. Hall expanded on the current status of the Solar cycle and what it might mean in the future as climates continue to change on Earth.
