PAST OCEANS INFORM OUR FUTURE
This workshop, funded by UKRI and organised by GRC members, aims to bridge the gaps between the sister disciplines of modern and paleo oceanography by bringing together leading experts from each field.
VOLCANIC IMPACTS ON CLIMATE & SOCIETY (VICS)
Volcanic eruptions exert a major forcing on Earth’s climate and have repeatedly perturbed human society through history. St Andrews hosted international researchers and policy experts to examine the lessons these events can provide for climate science, societal response, and hazard management. Funded by PAGES, with logistical support and leadership from the GRC, the event also featured “war games” style scenario planning for managing the impacts of future eruptions.
OVERSHOOT
In “Overshoot”, leading climate scholars Wim Carton and Andreas Malm (both of Lund University) discuss how overshoot scenarios became mainstream, and the potential and the risks of this approach.
Wim Carton joins the Centre for Changing Climates and CEPPA to discuss this work, through panel discussion with Mara van der Lugt, James Rae, and Derek Ball.
