Much like the Jurassic or Cambrian – all geological eras are marked out by dramatic changes in populations of fauna and flora; drastic changes in geological, atmospheric conditions and sedimentation. While there is no clear-cut moment from when different eras begin and end, the Anthropocene is a term used to describe our current geological era in which significant geological conditions and processes such as global average temperature; sedimentation and erosion are profoundly altered by human activities.

On Thursday the 19th of January we will explore Climate Science. Two very different speakers will discuss their work surrounding climate change, communication, and share their concerns for the future of the planet as a result of human activity.

Speakers Dr Michelle Cain from the Cambridge Centre for Climate Science will be discussing her research on greenhouse gases, methane in the Arctic, environmental measurements and computer models. Artist and designer Bea Wilson (RCA network;

Atlas Collective; Einstein’s Garden) will discuss how Experience Design can help communicate climate science research by tapping into shared emotions.
