On Thursday 30th April, Dr Eddy Graham (atmospheric scientist at the University of the Highlands and Islands) will give the third IMS talk of 2026. In “Clouds: How to Identify Nature’s Most Fleeting Form“, Eddy draws on his new book, as he shares the meteorological techniques of nephology (the study of clouds and cloud formation) that offer skyward-gazers insights into these elusive and transmutable shapes. He explains the physics of clouds, their colours and shades, the development of precipitation, and the timescale of their evolution. He combines modern meteorology with cloud studies by some of the greatest artists ever to look skyward. This talk will take place at the Custom House.
