How do extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy connect to our changing climate?
In short: Scientists from the American Museum of Natural History discuss the relationship between climate change and extreme weather. This conversation, hosted live from the Nature's Fury exhibition, explores the forces shaping our planet and provides insights from the institution's online course on Earth's future.
The discussion features a panel of experts including moderator Catherine Pomposi, a doctoral candidate at Columbia University, alongside physics professor Debra Tillinger and associate research scientist Radley Horton. The event serves as a component of the museum's online curriculum, focusing on lessons derived from Hurricane Sandy to better understand the mechanisms behind natural disasters.
Held on December 1, the session originates from the Nature's Fury: The Science of Natural Disasters exhibition. By examining how dynamic forces impact the Earth, the panel aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding of climate-related phenomena.
