A QUESTION OF EXTREMES
7pm in the Auditorium, the Forum, University of Exeter, Streatham Campus.
What is happening to our weather? An entertaining and informative evening full of surprises with one of the country's leading science communicators, Dr Helen Czerski and the Chief Scientist of the Met Office, Prof. Dame Julia Slingo OBE FRS.
In the first half of the evening Dr Helen Czerski and leading climate scientist, Dr. Peter Stott of the Met Office will embark on an exploration of extreme weather, including here in Devon, and how this fits into a pattern of changing climate. As they will discuss, there is so much more to climate change than global warming. Find out how the climate varies from a host of fascinating natural processes, and how science is making progress at helping all of us be more resilient to its vagaries.
After the interval, Helen is joined by Prof Dame Julia Slingo OBE FRS, Chief Scientist of the Met Office and other leading experts to explore with you, the audience, some of the intriguing questions raised earlier. Chaired by Prof. Paul Hardaker, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics and with Prof. Peter Cox of the University of Exeter, our panel will invite your questions and take you on an entertaining journey through the science of weather and climate and what it means for you.
