Kelly Lawler (PhD candidate) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) investigates eccentricity as a mechanism responsible for changes in Earth's incoming solar radiation. This as part of a series of educational videos on natural and human activities impact on climate change. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
Natural processes (for example, oceanic circulation, orbitally-induced solar radiation fluctuations, the plate tectonic supercycle) and human activities contribute to global climate changes that are evident at a variety of time scales (ACSES104)
