Bishop Museum will be carrying a live "SphereCast" tomorrow by a Nobel-prize winning climatologist who will be addressing viewers around the world.

It will be shown at 4 p.m. at the museum's Science on a Sphere, located in the J. Watumull Planetarium lobby. This is the first-ever SphereCast and is free to the pub lic.

Climate Change researcher Stephen Schneider will use SOS to illustrate his talk to museums around the world.

Viewers will be able to follow Schneider's presentation titled, "Global Warming: Is Science Settled Enough for Policy?" as he refers to data projected on the sphere.

Schneider's face and voice will be broadcast onto flat screens at museums, side-by-side with simultaneous SOS broadcasts. He will broadcast live from the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Schneider contributed to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore and numerous NOAA scientists. SOS is an educational tool invented by ESRL Director Alexander MacDonald.

It is installed in 34 museums and other institutions around the world, including Bishop Museum.

The giant luminous sphere displays animations of scientific data, from hurricanes to climate change. For more information, call 847-3511.
