Solar Impact: Climate and the Sun is on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Joanna Haigh, Professor Emerita of Atmospheric Physics at Imperial College London and Co-Director of the Grantham Institute until her retirement in 2019.
After inspiring details about how she got into her field of study and how we can encourage more girls to get interested in science, the conversation examines her research of the influence of the sun and solar variability on our climate, how energy emitted by the sun in the form of heat, light and ultraviolet radiation warms the earth and drives our climate, how data from satellites and modelling the processes helps us distinguish the warming effects of greenhouse gases from those of natural variations in solar energy, and more.
This conversation will be released in a carefully-edited video format. Available now is an enhanced book developed from the conversation, while Joanna Haigh is also featured in 7 short documentaries – all details are below.
This enhanced book is available in electronic format on all major booksellers, including:
Solar Impact: Climate and the Sun is also part of the five-part Ideas Roadshow Collection, Conversations About The Environment, which is available in hardcover, paperback and electronic format.
Joanna Haigh is featured in 7 short documentaries, together with a large number of other renowned researchers, including Roger Penrose, Jennie Nelson, Paul Steinhardt, Tony Leggett, Claudia de Rham, Uta Frith and Nima Arkani-Hamed.
