Sarah Dry Writer and Historian of Science 

We now take it for granted that Earth has a global climate system made up of interconnected parts, constantly changing on all scales of both time and space. A prerequisite for the discovery of global warming and climate change, this idea has a history. It was forged by scientists studying water in its myriad forms. In this talk, Sarah Dry will explore the stories of six remarkable men and women who traveled to some of the remotest places on Earth to study the role of the oceans, atmosphere, and ice sheets in generating our shared global climate.
