Columbia is among the institutions at the forefront of research on climate and climate applications, and is supported by an extensive network of research units and faculty. The M.A. Program in Climate and Society combines elements of established programs in Earth Sciences, Earth Engineering, International elations, Politics, Sociology, Economics, and at the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI) with unique classes in inter-disciplinary applications specially designed for the program's students. The program's director, Mark Cane, who is the G. Unger Vetlesen Professor of Earth and Climate Sciences, led the team that made the first scientific prediction of the El Ni?o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon in the 1980s. How people can benefit from climate prediction information has been a major topic of Cane's research since that time. A set of core courses will stress inter-disciplinary problem solving. These include: Dynamics of climate variability and change; Regional climate and climate impacts; Quantitative models of climate-sensitive natural and human systems; Policy-making under uncertainty. A professional development seminar and a choice between a summer internship or research thesis complete the required core. At the end of twelve intensive months of study, graduates will be prepared to address environmental issues from positions in government, business, and nongovernmental organizations. Some may wish to continue their academic careers in the social or natural sciences. For more information on the M.A. Program in Climate and Society, please see www.columbia.edu/climatesociety. You may also contact the program by email at climatesociety at ei.columbia.edu or by phone at 212-854-9896. The electronic admission application can be started by setting up a registration ID at https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=COL-GAS. About the IRI The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI), a unit of the Earth Institute at Columbia, is a unique resource for the Climate and Society M.A. program. The core mission of IRI is to enhance society's ability to understand, anticipate and manage the impacts of seasonal climate fluctuations, especially in developing countries. The IRI's work is rooted in climate prediction science, with a focus on climate-related social and environmental issues. The director of the IRI, Steve Zebiak, was Mark Cane's colleague when they first successfully predicted the El Ni?o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The IRI's current research locations include Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and South East Asia. For more information please see www.iri.columbia.edu . About the Earth Institute The Earth Institute at Columbia University is a leading academic center for the integrated study of Earth, its environment, and society. The Earth Institute builds upon excellence in core disciplines - earth sciences, biological sciences, engineering sciences, social sciences and health sciences - and stresses cross-disciplinary approaches to complex problems.

One of the biggest recent stories was when Willie Nelson announced that he is rolling out a biodiesel product he calls BioWillie. Believe it or not, BioWillie is being test marketed at truck stops in Texas. Truckers can now fill up on BioWillie and Waltz Across Texas in their big rigs knowing they are burning American-grown fuel. For more info on the BioWillie story, see our front page at www.biodieselamerica.org or Willie Nelson's new site: http://wnbiodiesel.com. Maxim Magazine is also picking up on the recent biodiesel buzz. Their February issue is scheduled to have a 3 page spread on biodiesel. They recently sent a reporter and a photo crew out here to California to spend a couple of days with me and the other folks at Biodiesel America. I?m looking forward to seeing their photos and article. In other news, my new book, Biodiesel America and its accompanying DVD and video series are scheduled to hit store shelves in May. If you have ever considered the potential to become successful in the biodiesel industry, this book will give you solid information on how you can benefit from the growing trend towards biodiesel fuel. Meanwhile, for those of you who have been working with biodiesel formulas from the web and want a physical copy of the biodiesel formula, the info on how to build a biodiesel plant, or the info on converting a vehicle to run on straight vegetable oil, now is a great time to get a copy of From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank. To order physical copies of From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank, please visit www.biodieselamerica.org/products That?s it for now. I?m running out the door to the National Biodiesel Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, FL where we will be filming for our documentary Fields of Fuel. If everything goes as planned, we will have some exciting biodiesel surprises for you in the coming months.
