HMEI Faculty Seminar: “Ancient Bubbles Tell Future Climate Stories”
John Higgins, associate professor of geosciences and associated faculty in the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI), will present “Ancient Bubbles Tell Future Climate Stories” in Guyot Hall, Room 10, and online via Zoom. Higgins is the first speaker in the fall 2022 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.
Higgins will discuss his lab’s efforts to extend the record of Earth’s past climate using air bubbles up to 4 million years old trapped in ice cores they have collected from Antarctica’s Allan Hills. These cores could allow scientists to, for the first time, directly and precisely reconstruct Earth’s atmosphere and climate system during a period widely seen as analogous to a future shaped by human-caused climate change.
This seminar is free and open to the public with registration. Lunch will be available in the Guyot Atrium at noon. All attendees can register here in advance to attend this event via Zoom livestream.
