Geology Professor and Science Historian Co-Author Article Exploring Eunice Foote’s Climate Experiments From 1856

Recently, Joseph Ortiz, Ph.D., professor and assistant chair in the Department of Geology in Âé¶¹¹û¶³â€™s College of Arts and Science, partnered with Sir Roland Jackson, Ph.D., a historian of science at the Royal Institution and the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London, to co-author a paper assessing the experiments described in Eunice Foote’s papers from a detailed quantitative perspective and to place them in historical context. They point out the differences between her hypothesis and that of the modern greenhouse effect.
