WHAT: JPL Climate Day 2010 will bring students, educators and the general public together with
scientists and other climate experts for a free, educational and fun event about Earth's
changing climate.

Researchers and other representatives from NASA, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, universities and additional organizations will speak on
various aspects of climate change. Topics include the effects of greenhouse gases and
clouds on climate, the difference between weather and climate, the role of the ocean in
global warming, and how scientists study Earth's climate from space. Attendees may
participate in hands-on activities; view exhibits, demonstrations and student
presentations; play Climate Jeopardy and other games; and get information on careers and
resources for teachers and community members. See http://climate.nasa.gov/ClimateDay
for more information.

WHEN: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27. The Friday event is open
only for students and educators, grades 6 through 12, and pre-registration is required. The
Saturday event is open to everyone, with no pre-registration required.

One highlight will be a Public Town Hall, "Our Changing Climate: The Latest from
NASA's Eyes on the Earth," on Saturday, March 27, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. JPL and Scripps
scientists will present their latest research on Earth's atmosphere, ocean, ice, ecosystems
and ancient climate and take audience questions.

WHO: In addition to students, educators and the public, participants include scientists and
others from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.; NOAA's National
Weather Service, Oxnard, Calif.; Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of
California, San Diego; The Climate Project, Nashville, Tenn.; Glendale Community
College, Glendale, Calif.; the State University of New York College at Oneonta,
