Predicting the Earth's future in Antarctica | Imperial College London

Professor Tina van de Flierdt, Head of the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial is embarking on a trip to Antarctica, her second visit in as many years. Tina is Co-Chief scientist on the Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 degrees Celcius of warming project (SWAIS2C). Spending Christmas in West Antarctica, the SWAIS2C researchers, engineers, and drillers will recover key environmental information from the ice and sediment at two different sites on the Ross Ice Shelf. No one has ever drilled deep into the Antarctic seabed at a location so far from a major base and so close to the centre of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. You can read more about the project here: https://www.swais2c.aq/ Tina also featured in an interview with the Sunday Times to talk about her adventure: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/environme....
