This spring, “Hot Science — Cool Talks” returned to in-person events after two years of remote programming. The popular speaker series invited two members of the Jackson School of Geosciences to share their research in an all-ages talk with the wider Austin community.
Assistant Professor Geeta Persad presented on climate change science and solutions. Her talk discussed her climate modeling research and how better models of the Earth’s climate system can help inform better solutions for mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Professor Julia Clarke’s talk was about dinosaur sounds. She shared how her research on modern-day birds is helping researchers envision what dinosaurs might have sounded like — and how it differs from the booming roars often depicted in Hollywood movies.
“Hot Science — Cool Talks” is presented by The University of Texas at Austin’s Environmental Science Institute.
