Course Description

Overview

Explore groundbreaking research on East Antarctic glaciers in this 32-minute press conference from AGU's Fall Meeting 2018. Discover how recent observations challenge the long-held belief of East Antarctica's stability, with a focus on glaciers near the massive Totten Glacier showing signs of acceleration over the past decade. Learn about the potential impact on global sea levels and the driving forces behind these changes from NASA experts Alex Gardner and Catherine Walker. Delve into topics such as the ITS Live Project, observational changes, Landsat 8 data, elevation changes, ice shelves, and the role of circumpolar deep water. Gain insights into the comparison with Arctic sea ice and the influence of El NiƱo on these glacial dynamics.
