Ice holds one of the best climatic records that we have for atmospheric CO2 with deposits dating back hundreds of thousands of years ago.
In this episode we're joined by palaeo-climatologists Lauren Gregoire (Academic Research Fellow in Earth System Modelling) and Ruza Ivanovic (Lecturer in Climatology) from the University of Leeds. Tune in as we explore ice sheets and glacial periods of the past, present, and future. Where are the main ice sheets and how do they affect sea level rise in comparison to sea ice? We discuss not only how these massive ice sheets change, but also what the effect of those changes are on our climate and weather systems, for example by driving significant changes in the Atlantic Meridionnal Overturning Circulation (AMOC). What could be the most extreme sea level rise scenario like? Using this information we can begin to better understand how the climate is changing and make climate science relevant for people, policy, and decision-makers. Find out more about the beautifully complex relationship between ice sheets, oceans and climate listening to our fifth podcast, he hope you enjoy it.
