![]() The National Museum of Natural History invites you to attend an evening with award-winning science journalist, Peter Brannen. If you’d like to attend this event you can register for free tickets online. ![]() This program is part of the National Museum of Natural History’s Earth’s Temperature History & Future Symposium* on March 29-31, 2018. Following their talks, Rachel Gross, a science editor at, will moderate a discussion and audience Q&A. Join us for an evening with two renowned researchers-Richard Alley, Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences and an Associate of the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at Penn State, and Gavin Schmidt, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies-as they talk about their exciting work weaving together paleoclimate data and computer models to understand the future. Enter: the fossil record-a storehouse of climate evidence that paleontologists are getting better and better at deciphering. These models need robust data that stretch far back in time. Warner Brothers Theater at the American History MuseumĪs human activities drive Earth’s rapidly changing climate, there is an urgent need to build better models that help us predict and prepare for our future. Paleoclimate: Digging into the Past to Chart our Future This special symposium is made possible by Roland and Debra Sauermann. Stephen Palumbi, Stanford University: Evolutionary innovations of the future – how life is adapting to the Age of Humans.Ryosuke Motani, University of California Davis: Evolutionary innovations in vertebrate transitions from land to water, then to the open seas.Julia Clarke, University of Texas Austin: Dinosaurs take flight – evolutionary novelty and the origin of birds.Nadia Fröbisch, Natural History Museum Berlin: Development of the vertebrate body plan.Maria McNamara, University College Cork: How and why life evolved color – evidence from ancient insects and vertebrates. ![]()
