You are about 60% water right now. That water, which is essential to your life today, has a history that reaches back billions of years as it was formed in space. It was later delivered to Earth during our planet’s accretion. It is hard to imagine life without water. Now, we fear its rise along our coasts as Earth’s climate changes and its absence in newly drought stricken areas. How can we manage water in order to sustain life?

The University of Oviedo has established itself as one of the world’s centers of big history research and teaching. Our thanks to the university for making this webinar free and open to all.
