Darwin Lecture: Tracing Earth's Climate Beat

🌍✨ Darwin Day Lecture: Tracing Earth’s Climate Beat ✨🌍

Join us for a fascinating Darwin Day talk with Dr Anna Joy Drury exploring how Earth’s climate follows a semi-periodic rhythm shaped by our planet’s place in the solar system. Using deep-sea sediment records, discover how astronomical processes drive long-term climate patterns — and why they sometimes shift in unexpected ways.

🗓️ Sunday, 15th February

🕡 6:30 PM

📍 Secular Hall, 75 Humberstone Gate, Leicester (LE1 1WB)

🎙️ Hosted by Leicester Secular Society

Dr Drury is a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow at the University of Leicester, working across palaeoceanography, geochemistry and stratigraphy.
