Title: Atmospheric particulates and climate: Big effects, big uncertainties
Abstract:
Aerosols, or particulates, in the atmosphere are known to have a major effect on climate, but they are also very poorly understood. They are both naturally occurring and caused by human activities and their effects depend on many properties such as what they are made of, how big they are, how many there are and where in the atmosphere they are. This talk will focus on efforts to measure these aerosols and their effects such that we can understand them better and make more accurate predictions of climate change. Proposed methods of utilising aerosols to offset global warming will also be discussed.
As always, the meeting is free and open to all without registration.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Regards,
Mike Bennett
