Abstract
Scientists at the University of Cambridge are studying not just the effects of climate change, but what we might be able to do about it. Join us next Thursday to hear about work across disciplines to build actionable ideas for tackling climate change.
đ Prof Sasha Turchyn is co-Director of the Quantitative Climate and Environmental Science programme and specialises in climate change and earth-ocean-atmosphere systems with the Department of Earth Sciences at Cambridge University.
đŦ Cerys Walsh is working on an emerging carbon capture technology called supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA) in the University of Cambridge Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry.
đ¤ Shreya Patel studies at the University of Cambridge Vet School, but is also an active climate leader working with NGOs, attending COPs with youth-led ClimaTalk, and formerly President of Cambridge Climate Society.
Celebrating International Day of Women & Girls in Science, this is a chance to hear about varied and vital work to tackle climate change. Join us at the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge at 1pm on Thursday 12th February.
