  • This presentation is a part of our NSIDC Cryosphere Seminar series and is led by Leilani Raashida Henry and Ted Scambos
    Antarctica's spectacular landscape, vast glaciers, and teeming biology are both a draw for anyone with an explorer's heart, and a reminder that the world we live in is fragile and changing. Our team of speakers, Leilani Henry and Ted Scambos, will recount the history of one of the early expeditions to the continent by following Leilani's father, George W. Gibbs, JR. of Richard Byrd's third expedition - the first Black man to set foot on the Antarctic Continent. Among many discoveries and explorations of the US Antarctic Service Expedition, Byrd sought to find and initially map the last major unknown length of coastline in the world at that time, the Pacific coast of central West Antarctica. Leilani's father notes the journey in his diary. But the significance of this stretch of coast would wait many decades to be fully realized: Byrd had discovered the coastline that held Thwaites Glacier, sometimes called The Doomsday Glacier, the area of Antarctica posing the greatest threat for sea level rise in the next 100 years. Ted Scambos will report on the findings of the international research program formed to study the gigantic glacier, and what the latest science says about how changes will unfold there.
    Bioa: Leilani Henry the author of "The Call of Antarctica: Exploring and Protecting Earth's Coldest Climate", is the Founder of Being & Living Enterprises. She is consultant for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration and a demonstrated thought leader in the field of Organizational Learning. Leilani facilitates leaders and teams to be more strategic, engaged and responsible for their impact. Her lifetime experience in the performing arts is integrated into her unique approach to leadership and learning.
    Ted Scambos is a Senior Research Scientist at the Earth Science Observation Center of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences. His research interests include glaciology; remote sensing of the poles; climate change effects on the cryosphere; Antarctic history; geochemistry; and planetary science. Scambos is co-investigator on the TARSAN project and a lead principal investigator for the Science Coordination Office of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (SCO project). He and his team will integrate ITGC efforts for efficiency and effectiveness, foster wider scientific collaboration, and deliver crucial science outcomes to key stakeholders.

    Thank you, Jesse, for your report! I hope you are doing better now! My husband finally did get out of the hospital yesterday and is home now. But his temperament has changed quite a bit. The hospital did say that he'd had at least 3 strokes from the brain scan they did. At least he is home for now.

    Ahhhĥ , Brad , when you say berry picking is a good safer job for younger children......not when my dad too, me Black Bear hunting as a child . My mom was with , but i snuck off and ate so many black berries and blck raspberries that i was stuck on the 2 trees , side by side , with privey pit underneath ! I got diarrhea to top it all . Told momand dad i made friends with black bears and shared berries . We were raisdd tough , i was only 4 , in 1967 . We got dropped into the bush up kn Canada in a DeHavellend Beaver amphibious aircraft . Im old now , so all this bad stuff happening , i was raised to be ready and never panic . Dad is long gone , but he taught me a lot .

    One part that have been missing from models was deep cracks that developed from below the ice sheet. When underwater robots were send to see what happens they find cracks that may widen 30 meters per year. This means ice tongue may crack easier than previously thought. These are hardly yet in ice sheet models that previously assumed flat surface from below. And this makes more rapid melting likely.

    Can I give you guys some advice ; the format should be changed to get people interested. This video was putting me to sleep...

    Recent ICEYE satellite based paper shows that Thwaites does rise and fall due to tidal motions. This means seawater gets under the glacier. And that reaches up to 6km inlands. Part of this water is trapped under the ice sheet during low tides. This trapped water gets more pressure from the weight above, leading higher heat content. This makes the ice sheet melt faster and it could thin the ice near ground zone, so it may begin floating over it to the sea. (was Rignot one of the authors?)
    This study means that the paleohistoric levels of sea level rise are nearer than we have previously thought. Previously State of cryosphere 2023 said: 12-20 meters of sea level rise by 2300 @2C. And IPCC 10-20 meters at current ghg levels. These high rise numbers can come earlier that predicted.

      And because this is a recent find, it is not in any ice sheet models.

    • @martiansoon9092
      @martiansoon9092 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Also noting that 6km inflow is done during high tides (6hr or so), so the estimated flow rate is high. So instead of the melting on grounding line, you get huge area under the ice sheet melting at once.

    - We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago and the cancer will go away -
    I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010.
    Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe.
    Today May 25, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 129 thousand years ago.
    On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
    On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past.
    On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
    On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
    The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.

      Silly shit I have ever heard, the explanation is clear for the last 200 years we have been burning fossil fuels and we have tripled the amount within the last 100! The planet likes to stay around 200 ppm and we are now at 420 ppm. History tells us that the last time earth had 500 ppm per n the atmosphere there was very little ice! We are reaching those numbers now and that is why we are having rapid melt

      Imagine being so blinded by religion you think earth is a spinning water ball millions of years old 😂
      You were created- earth is less than 10k years old and flat.

      @@BenPat88 The rotation of time has led to global climate change, and I said that today we are living in a climate 5 million years in the past.
      And that every day that passes starting from May 10, 2010 moves us 1000 years into the past of the universe.
      Which results in that today, June 2, 2024, we are in a situation of 5 million and 137 thousand years in the past.
      Not only that, but this turn of time will stimulate the immune system of the human body, activate it and strengthen it to make it develop genes in order to overcome incurable diseases, including cancer.
      My words seem strange, but they will be true and reality very soon.
      I will just remind you of what happened with the Chernobyl wolves, where these wolves alone developed cancer-resistant genes, without medical intervention from humans.
