"Climate Change, Migration, and Inequality" Filiz Garip (Princeton University) There are over 10 million Mexican migrants in the United States; about half are undocumented. This work connects the historical mobility patterns to the United States extreme weather conditions in Mexico. The analysis combines predictive machine learning tools with mechanism-based statistical models. The results show that combination and sequencing of droughts are critical to all aspects of the migration process: who migrates, whether migrants use clandestine channels to cross, and when they return to Mexico.  Lunch will be served:  Buffalo Chicken Wrap (buffalo chicken, chopped romaine, and shredded carrots with ranch dressing) The Riviera (turkey, brie cheese & thinly sliced granny smith apple with lettuce & cranberry mayonnaise on a croissant) Roasted Vegetable Stack Sandwich (grilled portabella mushroom, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion and other seasonal grilled vegetables topped with a balsamic glaze, served on a brioche roll) Chick Pea Salad Wrap (chick peas, dill, parsley and celery tossed with vegan mayonnaise, served with lettuce, tomato in an herb wrap) Potato salad Cookies & mini brownies Soda and water
