El clima de nuestro planeta está cambiando aceleradamente en los últimos 150 años. Sabemos que las temperaturas en la mayor parte de regiones están subiendo, que los hielos perpetuos se están fundiendo y que los patrones de lluvias están cambiando, pero ¿cómo podemos saber cuántos de esos cambios son "anómalos", y por lo tanto preocupantes? Las actividades humanas están modificando el clima, pero éste también cambia debido a factores no relacionados con el hombre. Para desenredar este nudo gordiano es fundamental conocer el clima del pasado: ¿cuánto han variado las temperaturas en los últimos miles de años? ¿Y las precipitaciones? Afortunadamente podemos extraer esta información de varios registros, tanto biológicos como geológicos, y uno de los más importantes son los hielos perpetuos. Acumulados durante miles de años, los hielos guardan pistas sobre cómo eran las condiciones climáticas cuando cayeron en forma de nieve, pero para leer este "gran libro del clima" necesitamos especialistas en la física y la química del hielo, gente que sepa cómo extraer el hielo sin que la información se pierda y cómo interpretar los rastros que han quedado en él. Hoy hablamos en La Brújula con dos de los pioneros de esta disciplina: Lonnie Thompson y Ellen Mosley-Thompson, de la Universidad de Ohio. Ambos han recibido el Premio Fronteras del Conocimiento en la categoría de Cambio Climático por su trabajo con los testigos de hielo, tanto de los casquetes polares como de los glaciares de alta montaña. Si os interesa este tema ya hablamos de él hace unos años, precisamente con otro galardonado de los premios Fronteras del Conocimiento, el profesor Richard Alley.

We know it's a touchy subject, but we have to address the elephant in the room. It's no question that the climate is changing, and we decided to talk to one of the leading experts to figure it out a bit more. Our guest this week is none other than Dr. Richard Alley; the Evan Pugh University Professor of Geosciences at Penn State. He's studied climate since 1987, focusing on ice sheets, glaciology, and ice cores. Dr. Alley has made numerous trips to Antarctica and Greenland during his studies, participated in the UN Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change, was a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, and even an advisor to multiple members of congress and a former US Vice President.

In segment one of this Utterly Moderateepisode we are joined by Dr. Richard Alley (professor of geosciences at Penn State University) to discuss climate change's impact on the Doomsday Glacier (the nickname given to the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica) and the potentially catastrophic consequences that this could have for sea level rise and coastal cities across the globe. Some research suggests that in as little as five years the glacier could suffer a massive collapse. In segment two we take a look around the news at a few stories from this past week, including: Possible Russian invasion of Ukraine (Wall Street Journal) Pittsburgh bridge collapse (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Supply chain woes (the Bulwark) Moderna vaccine gets full FDA approval (Washington Post) Foreign journalists in China face intimidation (Axios) Illiberal Right and Left are asymmetrical (the Bulwark) Trump floats Jan. 6 pardons (CBS News) Trump admits wanting to overturn election (Snopes.com) Trump wanted to seize voting machines (New York Times) Episode Music: “Please Listen Carefully” by Jahzzar (creative commons) “Draw the Sky” by Paul Keane (licensed through TakeTones) “Reading by Lamplight” by Maarten Schellekens (creative commons) “Happy Trails (To You)” by the Riders in the Sky (used with artist's permission) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week, we spoke with Dr. Richard Alley, a glaciologist and member of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaborative, about why this particular glacier - dubbed the 'Doomsday Glacier by Jeff Goodell - could raise sea levels beyond catastrophic levels and cause so much damage to coastal communities around the world. We also discuss how soon and how likely that might actually happen, and the latest findings that his group recently published. Dr. Richard Alley is the Evan Pugh University Professor of Geosciences at Penn State, where he focuses on glaciology, ice sheet stability, and understanding how Earth's climate has changed by examining ice cores.

And today we are joined by one such person, Dr. Richard Alley from Penn State University. We are going to talk glaciology, meteorology, and climatology and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
En este capítulo os hablamos de cómo estudiar el clima de la Tierra hace miles o millones de años, y lo hacemos de la mano de todo un experto: Richard Alley, profesor de la Universidad de Penn State que ha visitado España para recibir el premio Fronteras de la Fundación BBVA en la categoría de Cambio Climático. El profesor Alley es un especialista en hielo, en cómo usar el hielo para averiguar cómo era el clima de nuestro planeta en el pasado. Os contamos por qué es interesante estudiar el clima pasado de la Tierra, qué nos puede decir esto sobre el clima del futuro y qué técnicas usamos para desentrañarlo. Podéis escuchar la conversación completa que mantuvimos con Richard Alley (en inglés, eso sí) la podéis encontrar en el pódcast "Entrevistas de Alberto Aparici". Si os interesa el cambio climático y cómo afecta a los animales y las plantas escuchad los episodios s03e30, s05e32, s09e14 y s06e46, que dedicamos a diferentes aspectos de este tema.

In this interview with professor Richard Alley, from Penn State University, we speak about the climate of our planet in the past, and about how it is written in the ice of the polar ice caps or in the sediments of the bottom of the ocean. We speak about the predictive ability of climate models, about earthquakes triggered by glacial mass movement and about the role of CO2 in global warming. We conclude with some reflections about the future of energy production in our planet. Professor Alley visited Spain to receive the Fronteras del Conocimiento Award of the BBVA Foundation for Climate Change. We are grateful to the BBVA Foundation to provide us with the possibility of talking with professor Alley. This conversation was the basis for a radio show on paleoclimate and how ice provides techniques to study it. You can listen to it (in Spanish) here: http://www.ivoox.com/brujula-ciencia-s04e37-paleoclima-el-audios-mp3_rf_4723350_1.html This interview was recorded on June 22nd, 2015 at the headquarters of the BBVA Foundation in Madrid.
If you want to truly grasp the scale of the Earth's polar ice sheets, you need some help from Isaac Newton. Newton taught us the universal law of gravitation, which states that all objects are attracted to one another in proportion to their masses (and the distance between them). The ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland are incredibly massive—Antarctica's ice is more than two miles thick in places and 5.4 million square miles in extent. These ice sheets are so large, in fact, that gravitational attraction pulls the surrounding ocean towards them. The sea level therefore rises upward at an angle as you approach an ice sheet, and slopes downward and away as you leave its presence.This is not good news for humanity. As the ice sheets melt due to global warming, not only do they raise the sea level directly; they also exert a smaller gravitational pull on the surrounding ocean. So water sloshes back towards the continents, where we all live. "If Antarctica shrinks and puts that water in the ocean, the ocean raises around the world, but then Antarctica is pulling the ocean towards it less strongly," explained the celebrated Penn State glaciologist Richard Alley on this week’s episode. "And as that extra water around Antarctica spreads around the world, we will get a little more sea level rise in the US than the global average."Alley, a self-described “registered Republican” and host of the PBS program Earth: The Operators’ Manual, spoke on the occasion of truly dire news, of the sort that ice sheet experts like him have been dreading for some time. Last week, we learned from two separate research teams that the ice sheet of West Antarctica, which comprises just one relatively small part of Antarctic ice overall but contains enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by some 10 or 11 feet, has been irrevocably destabilized. Scientists have long feared that of all the planet's great ice sheets, West Antarctica would be the first to go, because much of it is marine-based—the front edge of the ice sheet is bathing in increasingly warm water, which is melting it from beneath. On the show this week we talked to Alley about the science of ice sheets and what this most recent news means for our future.This episode also features a discussion of a controversial project to replicate some of the most famous studies in social science, and of new research on whether firstborn children are more politically conservative than their later-born siblings.iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/inquiring-minds/id711675943RSS: feeds.feedburner.com/inquiring-mindsStitcher: stitcher.com/podcast/inquiring-minds
Produced by WPSU (a PBS affiliate) and the Rock Ethics Institute, this short film reviews the current state of scientific understanding about the human influences on climate change through straightforward explanations by top geological, meteorological, and geographic scientists working on climate related research at The Pennsylvania State University. The film concludes with the argument that while the sciencehas reached a high degree of certainty and there is little remaining disagreement about the causes of climate change, there remain questions as to what to do about climate change which are fundamentally ethical in nature and are now the responsibility of decision-makers and the public-at-large. The film features professors Richard Alley, Katherine Freeman, Michael Mann, James Kasting, Petra Tschakert, Klaus Keller, and Nancy Tuana.

The Stephen H. Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communication Dr. Richard Alley, Professor of Geosciences, Penn State The event is a moving tribute to the late Stanford University climatologist Stephen Schneider, as Richard Alley is honored as the inaugural winner of the Stephen H. Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communication. Alley, the Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University, is also host of the PBS documentary "Earth: The Operators Manual." Alley and Climate One’s Greg Dalton talk about the challenges confronting scientists who carry on Schneider’s legacy of communicating climate science to the public and policymakers. The intent of the PBS series and companion book, Alley says, is to present both the risks and opportunities presented by climate change, and to use different messengers to tell the story. “We’re hoping to communicate more, not only the imperatives of doing something, but the amazing opportunities that are out there,” he says. The good news is that we have the tools we need to get started. “The first place to start is that we know we can get there without game-changers. This is the wonderful thing. If you can get a hundredth of a percent of the sun’s energy, that’s all of humanity’s energy. If you can put a wind farm on the windiest 20% of the plains and deserts of the world, that is far more than humanity’s energy needs.” And it helps if that message isn’t coming solely from him: “‘Climate change matters to you,’ I can say that. But why now have an admiral in the U.S. Navy say it, because climate change matters to them.” He also doesn’t want to prescribe policy solutions. “I would like very much to bring forward what we know, why it matters, and what opportunities are attached to that knowledge. And then stop and say, ‘It’s yours,’” he says. That handoff invariably involves asking policymakers, and the public, to grapple with the tricky concept of scientific uncertainty. Fortunately, Alley says, Stephen Schneider excelled at explaining uncertainty, using techniques that Alley has made his own. “You have to say: ‘This is what we know. And this is as good as it can get. And this is as bad as it can get.’ And make that very clear to people,” he says. And though his inbox is sometimes the target of skeptics’ screeds, Alley’s preferred response is to engage. “There may be bad people out there, but I don’t talk to them,” he says. “Even the ones who call me names, when you can actually sit down with them, they care. Usually they’re arguing about things that are not really what they care about. What they really care about are their grandkids.” This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California on December 6, 2011
