Explore the critical issue of climate change in this 57-minute Erwin Schrödinger lecture delivered by Georg Kaser at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI). Delve into the ongoing climate crisis, examining both gradual changes like sea level rise and vector migration, as well as the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Understand the potential impacts and costs associated with a +1.5°C and +2°C world above pre-industrial levels. Learn about the current state of global greenhouse gas emissions and the first signs of irreversible subsystem changes that could lead to positive feedback loops. Discover the urgent need for immediate and deep societal transitions to address climate change, presented by renowned glaciologist and climatologist Georg Kaser from the University of Innsbruck. Gain insights into his research on glacier mass and energy balances, climate fluctuations, tropical mountain glaciology, and global glacier mass change. This lecture, aimed at a general audience of mathematicians and physicists, offers valuable information for non-specialists and graduate students on recent developments in climate science.
