NEDTalk - Planetary Climates: Exploring climate in other planets and our Earth

Celebrate NOAA DataFest and World Space Week 2024 with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)! This year’s World Space Week theme, Space & Climate Change, highlights the essential role of space science in understanding and addressing the challenges of climate change on Earth. Join us for “Planetary Climates: Exploring Climate on Other Planets and Our Earth,” a compelling live presentation featuring experts Juan Pablo Hurtado and Rafael de Ameller.

Whether you’re a student, educator, scientist, or simply curious about the cosmos and our environment, this event, open to the public, offers an opportunity to explore the intersection between space exploration and climate science.

Event Highlights:

  • Live Online Broadcast: Explore planetary climates through NOAA’s Science On a Sphere. Compare the climates of different planets in our solar system to Earth’s, and discover insights into our own climate challenges.
  • Expert Insights: Hear from Juan Pablo Hurtado and Rafael de Ameller as they discuss how space exploration informs our fight against climate change on Earth.
  • World Space Week Focus: Learn about World Space Week, the world’s largest annual space event, and how this year’s focus on Space & Climate Change unites space enthusiasts, scientists, and the public to address one of the most urgent issues of our time.
