Speaker

Dr Beatriz Mingo (University of Hertfordshire)

Description

As the impact of the ongoing climate crisis increases, so does our concern about the effect that our activities have on the environment. But what is the "carbon footprint" of our work as astronomers, and what do we need to do to if we want to reach our "net zero" commitments? I will walk you through some of the way our environmental impact is being measured, how bad it is, and what efforts are being done to minimise it.
