Dr Simon Clark talking about the hidden science of weather, climate change and the air that surrounds us, on the Universe Stage, at New Scientist Live 2022


Simon Clark is a video maker and science communicator from Bath. He finished his PhD in theoretical atmospheric physics at the University of Exeter, researching dynamical stratosphere-troposphere coupling over the Arctic. Prior to this he studied physics at St Peter's College, University of Oxford. Since graduation he has become a full-time science communicator, focusing on making YouTube videos about topics in Earth sciences, but also livestreams on Twitch. His first book, Firmament, is an introduction to and history of atmospheric science. Alongside science he is passionate about music, tabletop gaming, and general geekery. People, especially British people, spend a great deal of time talking about the weather. Every day we also learn more and more about the climate crisis threatening the planet. Yet the system that connects these two phenomena seldom receives any attention. Join Simon Clark as he introduces you to the fascinating story of our atmosphere; its past, present and future; and how it is just one atmospheric giant in an extended family that stretches across the stars.
