San Francisco, CA: After Dark at the Exploratorium with Dr. Sabine Stanley

Join fellow alumni and friends for a fun evening at After Dark: Art x Climate @ the Exploratorium. How would you depict the impacts of climate change? Join the Exploratorium for a conversation with artists, scientists, educators, and poets on responding to and capturing the effects of climate change around the country. Find inspiration with artists who were part of the Art x Climate Project at the US Global Change Research Program. Be in community with leaders of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) and scientists who have been studying the effects of climate change on Earth—inside and out. You won’t think about climate change—or art—the same way again.

Dr. Sabine Stanley is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Planetary Physics at Johns Hopkins University and the Applied Physics Lab and will be presenting What’s Hidden Inside Planets?  The inner workings of Earth and other planets are unlike anything we experience here living on the surface. In this talk, Dr. Stanley cracks the surface to reveal the beating heart of Earth and other planets. She will show how extreme heat and pressure result in unexpected processes in the deep interior of planets like iron snow, helium rain, and diamond icebergs. Although fascinating in themselves, the interior processes in planets are also strongly connected to the formation and regulation of atmospheres, oceans, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It’s therefore crucial to understand planetary interiors when working to mitigate climate change and natural hazards.
