Antarctica with Ted Scambos
In this webinar, check back for the recording, Dr. Ted Scambos presented a 'science travelogue' for the continent of Antarctica. His nineteen expeditions to Antarctica, in every region of the continent and the sea ice that surrounds it, has made him an expert in the field.
He has studied the collapse of ice shelf areas and glacier acceleration in the Antarctic Peninsula, ice streams of the Ross Ice Shelf and wind-snow interactions on the East Antarctic Plateau, and he was part of an international scientific team that that crossed Antarctica in 2008-2009. Recent work has taken him from unique large dune features in the center of East Antarctica (“megadunes”), to the large and unstable Thwaites Glacier, to icebergs off the shore of the Antarctic Peninsula.
