Riding the Climate Rollercoaster T4 webinar series

3. Climate Change Drivers I: Tectonics, Volcanism and the Biosphere

In this episode we will look at the formation of supercontinents, like Pangaea and their break up all have had an effect on climate. Moreover, volcanoes, and a multitude of super-volcanoes (known as traps), have related millions of tonnes of CO2 into the early atmosphere and drastically changed the climate. Today we sometimes get glimpses of these events may have been like, such as the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Phillipines in the early 1990s.

4. Climate Change Drivers II: Cosmic Rays, Earth's orbit and Bolide Impacts

Did you know that the Earth's orbit around the our Sun and changes in our planet's tilt range create cycles of climate change? This episode we will delve into the Milanovitch cycles, and other extra-terrestrial factors that can affect our climate over time. The episode will include how solar flares and cosmic rays can alter our climate over short and long term, and the how the Earth repells the deadliest of these.
