Navigating Climate Scepticism Documentary - Online course developed with AXA Climate and La Prod Jolie | 20 Nov 2025
During the Sound of Climate Change project we were approached by AXA Climate to support a documentary on Climate Scepticism. Dr Andrea Rassell filmed Dr Jacob Martin for integration into the course.
Talk - TEDxKingsParks I was a climate skeptic - three things that changed my mind |
"How did climate skeptic Jacob become climate champion Dr Martin? Should we give up on climate skeptics? Jacob benefitted from three things people did that changed his mind. Jacob is a materials scientist and nanotechnologist working on climate-stabilising technologies. Jacob has run the gamut in renewable/climate research, including biomass-to-power, algae biofuels, solar photovoltaics, carbon capture, pollution reduction and carbon materials for hydrogen storage, water filtration and batteries. Jacob completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2019. In 2021 he took up a Forrest Fellowship in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Curtin University in Perth, Australia working on advanced carbon materials for decarbonisation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community."

Presentation - How Acoustics is Used to Monitor Climate Change?
Demonstrated photoacoustics with an LED torch and portable CO2 monitors that use photoacoustics detection.
The Australian Acoustical Society awarded the "Sound of Climate Change" the Richard Booker Education Grant to explore the photoacoustic detection of carbon dioxide and the history of climate change measurements.
