In this episode, we bring you the full-on natural science side of sustainability. We interview Stephan de Roode, a meteorologist and professor at the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at TU Delft. From his expertise on the atmosphere and clouds, he explains to us the science behind global warming, the greenhouse effect, the difference between weather and climate… Also, we discuss the possibilities of geoengineering clouds as one of the solutions to global warming. Join us in this episode to find out how (Dutch) scientists went from worrying about global cooling to global warming! Check out the meme Maurizia was referring to here!
You can find more about Stephan’s research and work here. His collaborations on the short movie on cloud radar and the podcast episode for Universiteit van Nederland can be found here and here, respectively. For those eager to learn (even) more, visit this link for the movie Stephan mentions about their work related to global warming.
