Chris Jackson talking about the geological record of climate change, on the Future Stage at New Scientist Live 2022
Chris Jackson is a geoscientist for Jacobs. He was previously professor of sustainable geoscience at the University of Manchester, and before that professor of basin analysis at Imperial College London. Chris works in the general area of sedimentary basin analysis. When not studying rocks, Chris gives geoscience lectures to the public and in schools, having appeared on several Earth science-focused television productions and podcasts. Chris is engaged in efforts to improve equality, diversity, and inclusivity in higher education. The Earth is warming, with present and future changes in our climate being of global concern. However, it is important to understand that since its formation of approximately billion years ago, the Earth's climate has varied significantly. Occurring before humans inhibited the Earth, these often dramatic and rapid changes in climate were driven by a range of natural processes, controlling the habitability of our planet. In this talk Chris Jackson will look at the geological record of climate change, how these changes impacted life on Earth, and how this can help us better understand our present and future climate.
