Bishop Hill in Climate: Models

Joanna Haigh is going to be speaking on the physics of climate change tonight as part of the Royal Society's summer science season.

Earth’s climate is the result of interactions between multiple physical systems, such as the circulation of the oceans, winds and weather patterns, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, or the amount of sunlight we receive. In order to understand how the climate is behaving, and how it might behave in the future, we have to understand the fundamental laws controlling these interactions: we have to understand the physics.  Join Joanna Haigh as she explains the integral role of physics in climate science and how its use has transformed our ability to model and predict climate change.

Details: 6:30 pm — 7:30 pm on Friday 04 July 2014 at The Royal Society. No ticket required
