Dr. Fricker has one of the coolest jobs in San Diego — literally. Using satellites, she studies the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland and they effect they have on our climate. In this episode, she talks about what it's like to go to Antarctica, her work with NASA and more.
This episode is an interview with Helen Amanda Fricker who is a glaciologist and professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego where she is a director of the Scripps Polar Center. Our informative conversation focuses on how and why glaciers lose/ gain mass and how it affects surrounding ecosystems and communities. - Bonnie Perris- Script Editor - Polar Bear- Chairman Maf - Krisjoe Fuertes- Tech
In 2006, Helen Amanda Fricker was sitting at her desk studying new satellite data when she made a starting discovery – a set of active lakes that exist underneath the ice in Antarctica. Join Helen, a 25-year veteran of Antarctic ice sheet research, and learn about the discovery, exploration and drilling of these mysterious phenomena at the southern reaches of our planet.

We speak to Helen Amanda Fricker about Lake Whillans beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and how the WISSARD project obtained the first ever uncontaminated sample from an Antarctic sub-glacial lake, after drilling down into its icy depths.
