Max Holmes, Woodwell Climate Research Center: “Climate Change: Charting a Path to a Positive Future”</div>

<b>Lecture Abstract: </b>Since the MBL was founded in 1888, atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased 44%, human population has surged from 1.5 to over 8 billion, and Earth’s temperature has warmed by almost 1.5°C. The impacts of these changes are profound
for climate, for biodiversity, for people today, and, perhaps especially, for people and nature tomorrow. While it is easy to imagine a negative future as the impacts of these dramatic changes continue to come crashing down around us, a vision for a positive
future and what it might take to get there receives surprisingly little attention. Instead, most scenarios focus on how we might “avoid the worst consequences of climate change," hardly an inspiring or hopeful objective. This presentation will explore a vision
for the path to a sustainable future where people, climate, and nature thrive, and what near-and longer-term actions might be needed to get there.</div>

<b>Max Holmes</b> is motivated by a vision of science that connects people with each other and the natural world, and which drives urgently needed solutions to the climate crisis. After 10 years at MBL, Max joined Woodwell Climate Research Center as a scientist
in 2005 and served as Deputy Director for five years before becoming President and CEO in 2021. His globe-spanning career, track record of community-based science, and innate passion for interacting with new people and ideas position him to engage diverse
audiences with his inspiring, action-oriented vision for our climate future. He is a sought-after speaker at venues ranging from TEDx to Davos to Mountainfilm and has been quoted by top news outlets including
<i>The New York Times</i>, <i>The Washington Post, The Boston Globe,</i> and<i> The Independent</i>. He previously served as director of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Arctic Systems Science Program, was elected National Fellow of the Explorers Club
in 2015, and served on the 2022 Earthshot Prize host committee.</div>

<b>About the Glassman Lecture</b><br>
The Glassman Lecture is held in honor of the late Harold N. Glassman who left a generous bequest to the MBL which resulted in the establishment of the Harold N. Glassman fund, the income from which is used to support an annual Friday Evening Lecture on an important
topic in biological research.</div>
