How is Earth like a greenhouse?

How do scientists use measurements and models to understand Earth’s climate?

How does human activity contribute to the warming of our planet?


Join us at the 2022 Holiday Science Lecture for families as we explore the science behind the climate of our home, planet Earth. We will use experiments and interactive demonstrations to understand how the sun, atmosphere, oceans, land, and human activity affect the operation of “Engine Earth.”


Come and be a scientist with us as we learn how measurements and models can help us understand our climate and how it is changing!
