Today’s slideshow Doodle celebrates the 204th birthday of American scientist and women’s rights activist Eunice Newton Foote Foote was the first person to discover the greenhouse effect and its role in the warming of Earth’s climate Click through today’s Doodle to explore the process of Foote’s scientific discovery!Foote was born on this day in 1819 in Connecticut She attended the Troy Female Seminary, a school that encouraged students to attend science lectures and participate in chemistry labs While science became a lifelong passion for Foote, she also dedicated time to campaigning for women’s rights In 1848, Foote attended the first Woman’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls She was the fifth signatory of the Declaration of Sentiments—a document that demanded equality for women in social and legal status At this time, women were widely shunned from the scientific community Undeterred, Foote conducted experiments on her own After placing mercury thermometers in glass cylinders, she discovered that the cylinder containing carbon dioxide experienced the most significant heating effect in the sun Foote was ultimately the first scientist to make the connection between rising carbon dioxide levels and the warming of the atmosphere After Foote published her findings, she produced her second study on atmospheric static electricity in the journal Proceedings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science These were the first two physics studies published by a woman in the US Around 1856, a male scientist presented her work at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Those discussions led to further experiments which uncovered what is known as the Greenhouse effect—when gasses like carbon dioxide trap heat from the sun, the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere gradually rises Today, scientists all over the world are advancing climate science thanks to the foundation that Foote laid Happy Birthday, Eunice Newton Foote!Today on the Google blog, we’re celebrating 6 women-led climate nonprofits following in the footsteps of Eunce Newton Foote They’re using new technologies and innovative new approaches to build a more sustainable future, with support from Google Early Doodle DraftsStoryboardsLogo sketchesStyle testsVarious cut paper pieces
