Climate Revealed

An exploration of climate labs, centers, camps, stations

Climate change, and the related planetary crisis, is one of the greatest threats facing humanity today, something that will greatly transform our world and our lives. It’s an issue that has finally found space in mainstream media, however it’s very often addressed from the frontline of the struggles and devastation it brings with it. At the same time, there are still people challenging the science behind it and questioning its importance, ignoring the incredible scientific world behind every tiny bit of information about climate change. 

From the depth of the oceans and beyond, up to the vastness of space, climate scientists are tirelessly trying to understand every detail of Earth’s climate and its change over the centuries, from the past to the future. A huge and global effort, made of dedicated people, complicated machines, intricate labs and remote camps, to understand the complexity of the climate system and how humans are influencing it.

Climate Revealed is an exploration of some of the most important climate research facilities around the globe, where a set of -very different but connected- disciplines are enabling the understanding of some of the most burning issues related to Earth’s climate and its change. 

A journey that allows us to create a sophisticated picture of climate science and how it is intertwined with peculiar aspects of the human species: the hope given by the stunning power of human intelligence, the thrilling fear given by human controversy and a deep sense of humbleness in front of nature.

The project covers the following facilities: Earth Institute, Columbia University (New York), NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratories and Caltech (California), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NSF’s Ice Core Facility and National Center for Atmospheric Research (Colorado), Autonomous University of Mexico (Mexico), Amazon Tall Tower Observatory, Max-Plank Institute (Brazil), CNR’s Mount Cimone observatory (Italy), German Weather Service (Germany), European Center for Medium range Weather Forecast and University of East Anglia (UK), GREAT Institute, (The Gambia). 

This project will continue covering other institutes and camps with a priority for the ones in Africa, Asia and the polar regions.
