Exploring Planetary Climate A History of Scientific Discovery on Earth, Mars, Venus and Titan
5/22/2020 7PM

This talk chronicles the emergence of understanding of Earth’s climate, in parallel with the progressive discovery of conditions on other worlds. Over the past centuries, explorers have sailed to every continent, ascended in balloons, and probed the depths of the seas. Meanwhile, exoplanetary discoveries moved from telescopic observation of clouds and ice caps on our planetary neighbours in the 17th and 18th centuries to the dawn of the space age and the first voyages of robot explorers. This talk will conclude with recent developments in detecting and characterizing exoplanets, including the discovery in 2016 of a planet around our nearest star.

Presenter:
Ralph Lorenz
