Biological response to climate change: What would Bolin say?

We are very proud to announce that Dr. Thomas Cronin, U.S. Geological Survey and Georgetown University, Walsh School of Foreign Service is the 2017 Bert Bolin Climate Lecturer.

Over geological history, large-scale climate changes have subjected species and ecosystems to numerous challenges from variability in tempe-rature, sea level, pH, and biogeo-chemical at scales unknown in hu-man history.The lecture will deal with Geology’s record of biological response to climate change and explain how it provides unique, under-appreciated and often misunderstood insights into today’s biological systems.

The Bert Bolin Lecture on Climate Research is given annually in May to commemorate professor Bert Bolin and his pioneering work for climate research at Stockholm University and internationally. The speaker is selected among prominent scientists within climate research by the Faculty of Science.
