Polar Science in a Time of Rapid Change - Nye Lecture
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive 59-minute Nye Lecture from the AGU Fall Meeting 2008 on polar science and rapid environmental changes. Delve into crucial topics such as ice sheets, climate interactions, and cutting-edge research techniques presented by Mary R. Albert from CRREL and Thayer School of Engineering. Gain insights into the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, surface mount drainage, ice dynamics, and remote sensing technologies. Discover the significance of ice cores, black carbon, and atmospheric chemistry in understanding climate history. Learn about innovative research expeditions, including the Norwegian-US Traverse in East Antarctica, and the application of new technologies in polar science. Understand the importance of public engagement and inspiring future generations of scientists through initiatives like Polar Palooza. Enhance your knowledge of polar science and its critical role in addressing global climate challenges.
