Free public lectures by Professor Carolyn Roberts, Frank Jackson Professor of the Environment and IES Vice President

Recent developments in space technology have allowed us to view the Earth in new ways, and to identify our impact on land, atmosphere, oceans and freshwater in astonishing detail. Our planet’s fragility as a life support system is being revealed today in ways that would not have been anticipated even twenty years ago. 

The lecture will explore some of the science behind these observations, show a range of the curious and beautiful imagery being generated, and ask questions about the opportunities and risks of this type of environmental surveillance.

No reservations are required for this lecture. It will be run on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Doors will open 30 minutes before the start of the lecture.
