Johnson County Science Cafe\u2019<\/p>\n
The Geologic Record of Global Climate Change: Context for modern global warming<\/p>\n
Speaker: Dr. Keith Miller, Research Assistant Professor in Geology, Kansas State University<\/p>\n
Date: June 7, 2011<\/p>\n
Time: 6:30 pm<\/p>\n
Location: Coaches Bar and Grill, 14893 Metcalf, in private room<\/p>\n
The geologic record provides a long-term record of climate change over a range of different time scales.\u00a0 This record gives us a way to understand the range of possible global climate conditions and the various factors that are involved.\u00a0 With this long-term context as a background we can better understand modern climate change.<\/p>\n
Dr. Miller\u2019s research, since coming to Kansas in 1990, has been focused on the reconstruction of climate change during the early Permian (~300-270 million years ago) in Kansas.\u00a0 This is the time during which the rocks of the Flint Hills were deposited — a time that corresponded with an ancient ice age.\u00a0 That period was characterized by repeated alternations between cold glacial and warm interglacial times much like the current Pleistocene and Recent.\u00a0 So he comes at the question of modern climate change from a long-term geological context.<\/p>\n

There will be no science cafe in July. We will resume in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
