Podcasts about ice sheets

Peter Ward is a paleontologist who has described some of the earth's previous extinction events. He's worried about the one we may be creating now – and he worries about the attack on science that is going on in the US today. At the University of Washington, people are being laid off today. We can't save the world without science. For the video and audio podcast, https://tosavetheworld.ca/episode-679-a-paleontologist-and-rice-paddies.

To help cover the rising costs of climate impacts like extreme floods and sea level rise, New York State has enacted a climate superfund law that asks major fossil fuel companies to pay up, based on their historic sales of coal, gas and oil. We discuss how the revenues would fund climate adaptation and resilience.  Also, the Trump Administration barred government scientists from attending a key UN climate science meeting in February 2025. What's more, it seems the customary US task force including officials from the State, Energy, Commerce and Transportation departments has not attended any meetings for the underlying UN climate treaty since the beginning of the Trump Administration. And a new study shows that crevasses or cracks on the Greenland Ice Sheet are widening more rapidly than expected due to climate change, which may accelerate ice loss and global sea level rise.

Most geologists are familiar with the Younger Dryas, that somewhat enigmatic period about 12,500 years ago when the northern hemisphere, warming as it came out of the Wisconsin Glaciation, suddenly cooled for a few centuries. As it turns out, this was part of a series of events known as Heinrich Events. Join us for an interview with Dr. Elliott Arnold of West Chester University for a lively interview on Heinrich Events.

Landsat has documented changes all over the world for over 50 years. Changes in polar regions are happening especially rapidly. But it's dark in polar regions much of the time. Therefore, a new acquisition scheme is adding more imagery of these dark, polar regions so these changes can be studied in more detail, even in polar twilight. In this episode of Eyes on Earth, we learn about this project, called the Landsat Extended Acquisition of the Poles (LEAP).

The impacts of climate change that probably worry people the most are irreversible changes that affect the entire world, such as a collapse of the west Antarctic ice sheet, shutdown of the global thermohaline circulation, loss of the Amazon biome, or a melting of Arctic permafrost.Sudden, unpredictable and irreversible changes can happen in response to a gradual warming. What is known about these risks at 1.5°C, 2°C and higher levels of warming?This lecture was recorded by Myles Allen on 5th March 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/tipping-pointsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

How fast - and how completely - could Antarctica's smaller western ice sheet melt in a warming world? An international science team, led by Aotearoa New Zealand, set out to investigate whether two degrees of warming could already be a tipping point for the frozen continent.

Ice sheets don't form just one layer per year. And in the past, after Noah's flood, layers formed very quickly.

Scientists involved in an ambitious attempt to drill deep into the rock below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet say their efforts got "tantalising close", and they will try again in November. The international team of experts melted a hole through the 580-metre-thick Ross Ice Shelf in a bid to retrieve ancient sediment from the last time Earth was at hot as it will become in the next few decades. They say this will reveal clues about how the ice sheet behaved then, and how quickly it might disintegrate now. But they fell just short of their goal, drilling for sediment samples 200 metres below the ocean floor. Richard Levy of GNS Science and Victoria University led the team on the ice. Levy spoke to Corin Dann.

Scientists came to Greenland on an unprecedented mission to drill for rocks that would reveal the fate of the country's fast-melting ice sheet. A sudden crack in the ice threatened their experiment. Read more:The Greenland Ice Sheet contributes more to sea level rise than any other ice mass. If it disappeared, it would raise global sea levels by 24 feet, devastating coastlines home to about half the world's population. Computer simulations and modern observations alone can't precisely predict how Greenland might melt. Greenland's bedrock holds clues. It was present the last time the ice sheet melted completely and contains chemical signatures of how that melt unfolded. It could help scientists predict how drastically Greenland might change in the face of today's rising temperatures. But scientists have less material from under the ice sheet than they do from the surface of the moon. So this spring, a team from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory made an unprecedented effort to drill through more than 1,600 feet of ice and uncover the bedrock below.Climate reporter Sarah Kaplan was there too. She arrived just after a thin crack appeared in the ice around the drill, threatening the project and its ability to unearth the future.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with Dr Kaitlin Naughten from the British Antarctic Survey about her new research looking at the unavoidable sea-level rise from west Antarctica. [Subscribe to the ClimateGenn Podcast on Spotify via Patreon to get episodes early: https://patreon.com/genncc ] [Preorder COPOUT by Nick Breeze: https://copout.genn.cc ] Although ending fossil fuels is still the main course to pursue, no amount of emissions reduction this century, can slow the melt of this region of Antarctica. We discuss the implications, such as abandoning coastal areas, as well as learning to accept and respond to the growing climate migrant crisis. We also discuss the psychological toll of processing this kind of scientific findings.In the next episode I will be speaking with author and psychoanalyst, Sally Weintrobe about her latest work.As policymakers meet in Dubai for the preCOP discussions, it is with great sadness that we note the death of Professor Saleemul Huq on the 28th October. Saleem has been a huge source of insight for my work over the last decade, giving me many interviews that provide the much needed perspective of the vulnerable nations in the global south. As mentioned before, my own book COPOUT is available for preorder and I am pleased to say that Saleem's wise words inform the narrative, threading the way from Paris to this years COP in the UAE.Thank you to all Youtube and Patreon subscribers for supporting the channel - with ever more aspects to the climate and ecological crisis emerging, your support makes it a difference.

Madeleine Finlay hears from environment editor Damian Carrington about a new study by the British Antarctic Survey, which shows Antarctic ice may be melting even faster than we thought.

Record-breaking global temperatures are accelerating Greenland ice melt at an alarming rate. Professor of glaciology Alun Hubbard has witnessed the melt first hand. He tells us how the ice sheet is being destabilised and what this could mean on a human level. Also, how safe are Japanese plans to dispose of nuclear waste from the Fukushima accident? We get reassurance from molecular pathology expert, Professor Gerry Thomas. And last week was a big one for cosmology news. We catch up on science behind the gravitational hum that permeates the Universe with astrophysicist with Dr Chiara Mingarelli. And we hear about the traces of ghostly neutrinos within our Galaxy from the principal investigator of the world's largest neutrino detector, Professor Francis Halzen.

I'm on a roll with scientists on Chit Chat Across the Pond. This week my guest is Professor Jason Briner from the University of Buffalo. Dr. Briner joins us to tell us tales of adventure as he and his team go to Greenland to study the polar ice sheet. I never thought of geology as a sexy, exciting field of science, but after learning about Dr. Briner's work and the incredible importance of that work to climate science, my view of geology has been turned upside down. Dr. Briner is serious and funny and engaging and fascinating and I really enjoyed talking to him on the show. I'm really glad we got to know Dr. Briner on our trip to Antarctica where he was one of the brilliant scientists lecturing on the university alumni trip. You can find photos and videos from Dr. Briner's very recent research trip to Greenland at [www.glyfac.buffalo.edu/...](http://www.glyfac.buffalo.edu/Faculty/briner/2023nwgreenland/2023nwgreenland.html). Might be fun to follow along with the images while listening to him describe the work.

How did the Antarctic continent become covered with an ice sheet that is up to 4 km thick? In this episode I explain how this ice sheet developed and its influence on modern climate there. I also describe the origin of the giant floating ice shelves in Antarctica and how katabatic winds help make this continent the coldest, windiest and most remote place on earth. The isolation of Antarctica with the development of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that circles the continent also is described.

We've slipped on down to the third ring of Cocytus--where we find a few textual problems, more New Testament references, the return of Virgil for no good reason, and a possible slip from our poet. Hey, it's slick down here!Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we near the end of INFERNO, Canto XXXIII, passing on from Count Ugolino (sort of--one last glance) and toward the last speaking damned soul in all of INFERNO.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:27] My English translation of the passage: INFERNO, Canto XXXIII, lines 91 - 117. If you'd like to read along, print it off, or drop a comment, just go to my website: markscarbrough.com.[03:37] One last glance at Count Ugolino and his sons: a question about Dante's own rage in exile away from his own children.[07:36] The return to the journey, here to a landscape with the damned as the only "geographical" markers.[10:07] A translation problem about how the damned are actually facing in this third ring of the ninth circle, Cocytus.[12:56] Why's in your eye? A reference to the Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:3.[15:07] Yet another New Testament reference--perhaps to Acts 2:3--but a deeper problem of exactly what the pilgrim Dante knows (and whether the poet Dante has made a gaffe).[18:13] The medieval understanding of how wind happens.[19:32] The return of Virgil--to tell you we don't need Virgil![21:35] The last of the damned who speaks in hell--and here, asks for help.[25:19] The damned soul asks for a kindness from a traveler on the road.[27:17] Dante makes a coy or arch or false promise. So is he becoming more like God?

This week's episode is literally too cool for school. We're talking about the Laurentide Ice Sheet and ice ages.

We're nearing the center of the universe, a place where we can feel the weight of everything bearing down on us. Our pilgrim is showing the strain. Violent. Erratic. Our poet, too. Trying to convince us he really took this journey. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we walk with Dante and (silent!) Virgil across the final ice sheet of hell, the ninth circle, into Antenora, the realm of those who've been treacherous to their own political parties or countries (or even literary forefathers). Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:48] My English translation of this passage: INFERNO, Canto XXXII, lines 70 - 102. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com. [04:27] Two problems: I've divided a single passage into two parts for this podcast and we must make many inferences to make any of these passages make sense. [06:26] Three translation problems: "cagnazzi," "gravezza," and "se fossi vivo." [15:26] The poet appears in the passage--and predicts his own future, based on the reality of this journey. [18:05] Why is this passage so violent? Three answers: 1) the pilgrim's progress (the traditional answer), 2) the poet's frustration, or 3) COMEDY's structure as a series of interlocking and bracketed events and situations which do not offer linear development. [26:28] The pilgrim is keeping notes, thereby further asserting the "realism" of the journey. [30:10] Antenora: the second sub-ring of Cocytus, named for a Trojan traitor, Antenor. [34:24] Dante is being a traitor to his literary party, too.

PhD candidate Schmitty Thompson uses very modern methods to study very ancient things. As a geologist, they use computer models to fill in gaps of the geologic record in order to determine the relationship between massive ice sheets and ancient ocean levels. Their work lies at the intersection of physics, geology, computer science, and history.

We start our trek with the pilgrim Dante and his guide Virgil across the final, ninth circle of hell, an unforgiving ice sheet, where we encounter disembodied voices, questions about perspective, pastoral imagery, and some puzzling questions about how it all works. Dante's imagination is mechanical and full. But even he nods once in a while. Maybe a couple of times in this passage, in fact. But not in its overall effect: a nightmare of frozen bodies at the center of the universe. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:17] My English translation of the passage: INFERNO, Canto XXXII, lines 16 - 39. If you'd like to read along or drop a comment, please go to my website, markscarbrough.com. [03:20] What does it mean that Dante and Virgil are "well below the feet of the giants"? [06:00] Who says "watch out"? Why are these lines of dialogue unassigned? [10:17] The final ring of hell is not a lake of fire, but a lake of ice, made from the rivers of hell. But there's an interesting problem here! Dante may have nodded off and forgotten some details. [15:07] Dante bring "local" geography to the last circle of hell, furthering the complex irony in the passage. [18:08] How does Dante know about Cocytus? [21:15] We get pastoral glimpses inside the terror of the final ice sheet. [24:10] The damned use a language denied to Dante the poet. [25:31] Cocytus is a noisy place! [26:22] The final revelation is that the endpoint of evil is immobility.

Glaciers may only exist in certain cold corners of the world, but just like tropical rainforests, peatlands, wetlands and oceans, they support life on Earth hundreds of thousands of kilometers away; regulating ocean temperature, freshwater supply and our climate. In this episode we hear why ice is so integral to the planet as a functioning ecosystem, and some radical ideas to stop it from melting.
