Opening Lecture and Q&A with Henry Pollack:
Confronting Climate Change: What Are The Challenges?
Admission is free.
Musicians, composers and artists Michael Gould, Stephen Rush and Marion Tränkle have collaborated with geophysicist and climate scientist Henry Pollack (co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with IPCC colleagues and Al Gore) to create a multimedia installation that captures a precarious moment in the history of our planet. Part science, part music, part art, this collaboration is a groundbreaking, thought-provoking and compelling multisensory experience focusing on Earth’s changing climate.
