Melting Ice & Rising Sea Levels | Can We Predict The Future Of Our Climate?

How do glaciers and ice affect our climate system? Dr. Alexander Robel joins the podcast to discuss the intricacies of how and why ice sheets change…

Dr. Robel is an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech University and serves as the head of the Ice and Climate research group. Here, he and his team use math, high-performance computing, and data to better understand changing ice sheets – and their in-depth relationship with the climate system.

Jump in now to discover:

1) The different types of glaciers that exist on our planet.
2) The compositional difference between oceanic and freshwater glaciers.
3) How heat is transferred into ice, resulting in melting glaciers.
4) How computer models can be used to show how glaciers respond to climate change.

Could Dr. Robel’s work give us answers to our questions surrounding melting ice and rising sea levels? Join the conversation now to find out!
