Title:
The Physics of the Greenhouse Effect
by Dr. Ernazar Abdikamalov
Dept. of Physics, SST
Abstract:
The solar radiation that reaches our planet and its interaction with the atmosphere plays a key role in establishing the climatic conditions over the globe. Recent human activity has significantly increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, altering the global radiative balance and leading to changes in Earth's climate. In this talk, a basic introduction to the physics of the greenhouse effect will be presented.
Location: Room 7.317
Time: 4:30pm, Wednesday, March 18, 2015.
Did you know that tiny quantum tornadoes can form from the gravitation of a rotating black hole?
This exotic situation requires a merger of gravity and quantum theory.

Title:
The years that changed the universe: A brief history of the golden age of General Relativity
by Dr. Daniele Malafarina
Dept. of Physics, SST
General Relativity is 100 years old. Today we are all familiar with terms like `Black hole' or `Big bang', but when were they invented? When did they become important for astrophysicists and who contributed to make the theory the highly popular and successful view of the universe that we know now? In this talk we review the years that marked the passage of GR into the modern era. The period between the late fifties and the early seventies that is sometimes known as the Golden Age of Relativity.
