The John Carlson Lecture communicates exciting new results i n climate science to the general public. Free of charge and open to the ge neral public\, the lecture is made possible by a generous gift from MIT al umnus John H. Carlson to the Lorenz Center in the Department of Earth\, At mospheric and Planetary Sciences\, MIT.

\n\n'Big Ice: Antarctica\, Greenland\, and Boston' \n\nAn ice sheet is a two-mile-thick\, continent-wide pile of old snow\, spreading under its own weight and sculpting the land beneath.  Th e ice sheet that buried Boston 20\,000 years ago melted when slowly acting features of Earth’s orbit raised summer sunshine and atmospheric CO2\, wa rming the climate. The history of that Ice Age can still be read in Boston Harbor\, and in the layers of the surviving ice sheets on Antarctica and Greenland. But\, more warming may melt those ice records\, as break-off of huge icebergs and outburst floods speed sea-level rise.\n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr. Richard Alley is an Evan Pug h Professor of Geosciences in Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sc iences. His research interests focus on glaciology\, sea level change and abrupt climate change\, and he frequently discusses earth sciences on majo r media outlets\, including NPR\, BBC and PBS. He is widely credited with showing that the earth has experienced abrupt climate change in the past—a nd likely will again\, based on his meticulous study of ice cores from Gre enland and West Antarctica.\n\nFor more information contact: Allison P rovaire\, provaire@mit.edu\n\nM ore about previous Carlson Lectures here.\n\n
