Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have driven a transformation of Earth’s climate, outpacing many of Earth’s natural cycles. But natural forces are still at work. In our first Earth Optimism lecture of the year, SERC ecologist Pat Megonigal will illustrate some of the unseen forces driving climate change. Join us for a myth-busting journey from the massive ice sheets of Antarctica to microbes in the soil, as Dr. Megonigal explores the natural phenomena both accelerating climate change and keeping it in check. Dr. Megonigal will also reveal ways people are already using nature to fight climate change, through natural climate solutions.
