Sir K S Krishnan was one of the most illustrious scientists of India.          
           A co-discoverer of Raman effect,   Krishnan has several discoveries
           to his credit, in a wide range of 'Quantum Phenomena' in condensed
           matter. He was a great populariser of science, and a selfless enthusiast
           who shared his science liberally with young students, from various colleges,
           first as a student and later as a young teacher at Madras Christian College.

           To reach college students, Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
           K.S. Krishnan Memorial Trust and Madras Christian College, Chennai
           are sponsoring a popular science lecture series to be delivered
           by distinguished scientists. The lectures will be held at MCC.

                                         The lecture will be given by        

          In the past decade or so, it has been firmly established that human
            activities has resulted in a steady warming of the atmosphere. The
            consequent change in the climate is likely to have harmful and may
          be even disasterous consequences for human society. Climate science
          is clearly going to be a very important field of research in this century.
          This talk will review the scientific evidence for global warming and
          climate change. The scientific questions the phenomenon throws up and
          the science involved in attempting to answer them will then be described.
