This event, part of the 'Prosto z nieba' series at the Copernicus Science Centre's Planetarium, features a lecture by Dr. hab. Anna Hrynowiecka on climate history. Visitors will learn how geologists reconstruct past climates from rocks and pollen, exploring the last 500,000 years of Earth's climatic and vegetation changes.
The 'Prosto z nieba' series at the Copernicus Science Centre's Planetarium offers monthly multimedia lectures that connect scientific knowledge with interactive visualizations. This specific event, titled 'Pół miliona lat przeobrażeń klimatu' (Half a million years of climate transformations), features Dr. hab. Anna Hrynowiecka, a paleobotanist and palinologist. The lecture delves into how geologists and palynologists study past climates by analyzing rocks, sedimentary deposits, lake sediments, and pollen grains. Attendees will gain insight into the reconstruction of Earth's climate history over the last 500,000 years, understanding the cycles of glaciations and interglacial periods, and how vegetation evolved throughout these warmer and colder phases. Dr. Hrynowiecka, affiliated with the Polish Geological Institute – National Research Institute, will explain the natural factors and human influences that shape climate change, drawing from her extensive research in paleobotany and paleoclimatology. The event aims to provide unique knowledge combined with interactive visuals on the dome, encouraging audience questions and discussions.
Tickets for the multimedia lecture 'Prosto z nieba' can be purchased online or at the box office. Standard tickets cost 34 PLN, and reduced tickets cost 24 PLN. The number of tickets is limited.
