Author Talk: Meet Joëlle Gergis - Chermside Library

Join award-winning climate scientist and writer from the University of Melbourne, Dr Joëlle Gergis, for a discussion about her new book.

Sunburnt Country pieces together Australia’s climate history for the first time. It uncovers a continent long vulnerable to climate extremes and variability. It gives an unparalleled perspective on how human activities have altered patterns that have been with us for millions of years, and what climate change looks like in our own backyard. Sunburnt Country highlights the impact of a warming planet on Australian lifestyles and ecosystems and the power we all have to shape future life on Earth.

Books will be available for purchase on the day, or bring your copy from home for Joëlle to sign. Book your spot now to avoid missing out.

Presented as part of the Lord Mayor’s Writers in Residence series.
