Caltech in Seattle
Seattle has a strong Techer community, with more than 1,700 alumni, former postdocs, parents, and donors in the area. From advancing aerospace technology at Boeing to shaping cloud computing at Microsoft, Techers are making an impact across the Pacific Northwest.
This event offers a chance to reconnect with fellow alumni, expand your professional network, and hear from featured speaker Andy Thompson, John S. and Sherry Chen Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering. His research focuses on ocean circulation and climate dynamics, and he will be in attendance to connect with alumni.
Join us at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) for an evening of conversation and connection over hors d’oeuvres and drinks.

About the Speaker
Andy Thompson, John S. and Sherry Chen Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering; Director, Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global Environmental Science; Executive Officer for Environmental Science, will be in attendance.
Dr. Thompson’s research broadly focuses on the ocean’s role in Earth’s climate system, including the ocean’s interactions with the atmosphere, sea ice, and ice sheets. Using a combination of sea-going observations, remote sensing, numerical models, and theory, his work sheds light on how ocean circulation mediates heat and carbon uptake by the ocean as well as sea level change. His research group is particularly focused on polar regions that have experienced dramatic changes in recent decades.
