How we came to know (we think)! – 4th December 2012

December 4, 2012

Presentation by Professor Pat Quilty

CSIRO Lecture Theatre Castray Esplanade Hobart

Tuesday, 4th December 2012 Commencing 6.00 pm until 10.00 pm

Christmas dinner at 7.30 following the lecture. $35.00 per head. Bookings required.

 

About the Speaker

Due to unforseen circumstances the talk by Eva Meidl originally scheduled for this night has been postponed until a later date.

 

Brief Abstract of the Talk

While the climate change debate is alive and well-known, little publicity is given to the origin of the knowledge about its natural cyclical nature that acts as a baseline against which to compare the modern trends. The lecture will go back to the origins of the concept of cyclicity, and review the basis for the data that support the idea and how patterns have changed with time. The origins are in microfossils, of course: guess which ones!
