Tara Moran and Kate Sinclair are both working on PhDs in glaciology and climate change research under the supervision of Dr. Shawn Marshall at the University of Calgary. They are among 220 Canadians being trained to deliver former U.S. Vice President Al Gore's famous Inconvenient Truth presentation through The Canadian Climate Project in Montreal April 4-6, 2008. Tara's research focuses on temperature reconstructions using of stable water isotopes from an ice core drilled in the Canadian Arctic. Kate’s specific research area is the analysis of stable water isotopes in Rocky Mountain snowpacks and their relationship with storm pathways. Both Tara and Kate are interested in the broader implications of global climate change and its societal impacts. They both wanted to be involved in Al Gore’s training initiative because they believe that climate change science should be widely available and accurately communicated.
