 Elfatih Eltahir, Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering and H.M. King Bhumibol Professor of Hydrology and Climate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

 Just like in other societies around the world, climate change will have significant impacts on Muslim societies. In this talk, Professor Eltahir will offer specific examples from Asia and Africa to illustrate how these impacts would affect, to varying degrees, important processes that shape economy, culture, and life. He will discuss case studies ranging from water availability in the Nile basin, transmission of malaria in villages of Niger, to heatwaves in crowded cities of South Asia, and outdoor conditions during the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj. A common theme that emerges from these studies is how understanding natural phenomena as well as the current societal context is critical for accurately projecting future climate conditions at local scales.
