Simon Clark
Harvard Book Store, the Harvard University Division of Science, and the Harvard Library welcome videomaker and science communicator SIMON CLARK for a discussion of his new book Firmament: The Hidden Science of Weather, Climate Change and the Air That Surrounds Us. He was joined in conversation by JORDAN HARROD—Ph.D. Candidate in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program.
In Firmament, atmospheric scientist and science communicator Simon Clark offers a rare and accessible tour of the ins and outs of the atmosphere and how we know what we know about it. From the workings of its different layers to why carbon dioxide is special, from pioneers like Pascal to the unsung heroes working in the field to help us understand climate change, Firmament introduces us to an oft-overlooked area of science and not only lays the ground work for us to better understand the debates surrounding the climate today, but also provides a glimpse of the future that is possible with this knowledge in hand.
