Climate change is not a mythical creature – a talk by Chirag Dhara
6 pm – 7.30 pm
At Lamakaan, Off Road no.1, Lane before VengalRao Park, Diagonal to GVK Mall, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
45mins talk + 45mins Q&A
The talk will focus on the issues that reach beyond merely the hard sciences and into the social and economic domains, with their potential to call into question our economic systems and social choices (for example, the link between development and energy consumption). The talk will also explore the importance of the basic sciences in societal development.
SPEAKER Chirag Dhara is a physicist and mathematician, and recently concluded his PhD in earth sciences at the Max Planck Institute. His previous work was on foundational quantum physics, specializing in quantum randomness. He is drawn into the field of thermodynamic perspectives on climate, due to his concern about the twin problems of climate change and peak energy.
