    How real is the risk of an Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapse

    Dr. Gerard McCarthy is a physical oceanographer and climate scientist, currently based at Maynooth University in Ireland, where he works with the ICARUS Climate Research Centre and the Department of Geography. His research focuses on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and sea level rise. He has been instrumental in studying the AMOC, a system of ocean currents that significantly affects Europe’s climate. His findings have raised awareness of its potential weakening due to climate change, which could lead to significant impacts in parts of Europe, including Ireland. Before joining Maynooth, Gerard worked at the National Oceanography Centre in the UK, contributing to major projects like the RAPID array, which monitors the AMOC. He has been featured in media outlets like The Irish Times, RTÉ and BBC for his insights into the future impacts of climate change, particularly for Ireland.

    Professorial Inaugural Lecture - Professor Jennie Stephens

    Jennie C. Stephens is Professor of Climate Justice at the ICARUS Climate Research Centre at the National University of Ireland Maynooth. She was a 2023-2024 Radcliffe-Salata Climate Justice fellow at Harvard, and she served as the Director of Northeastern University's School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs from 2018-2022. She is an internationally recognized expert on renewable energy transformation, the power of fossil fuel interests, energy justice, climate justice, higher education, energy democracy, and gender and race in energy and climate. Her forthcoming book, Climate Justice and the University: Shaping a Hopeful Future for All (Johns Hopkins University Press, December 2024), reimagines higher education for a more equitable, healthy and stable future for all. Her 2020 book, Diversifying Power: Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership (Island Press), inspires collective action by elevating the stories of innovative diverse leaders who are linking climate and energy with jobs and economic justice, health and food, transportation and housing. Her work explores how to mobilize transformative change by diversifying leadership, redistributing wealth and power, and moving beyond technocratic solutions so that feminist, antiracist, anticolonial principles are prioritized. Before joining Maynooth University in Ireland in summer 2024, Professor Stephens was on the faculty at Northeastern University (2016-2024), the University of Vermont (2014-2016) and Clark University (2005-2014). She earned her PhD at the California Institute of Technology in environmental science & engineering and her BA at Harvard in environmental science & public policy. www.jenniecstephens.com
