What can the Earth's frozen regions reveal about our collective climate future?
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory experts discuss the cryosphere and its critical role in understanding global climate change. This talk features glacier scientist Alex Gardner, who examines how ice dynamics influence our planet's trajectory.
The cryosphere encompasses all of Earth's frozen water, acting as a vital indicator of environmental shifts. By studying these regions, scientists gain essential data regarding the mechanisms driving climate change and their long-term implications for the planet.
This discussion, originally broadcast on April 15, 2021, highlights the work of NASA/JPL researchers including Alex Gardner, Nikki Wyrick, and Jocelyn Argueta. It provides a scientific perspective on how melting ice and changing frozen landscapes are intrinsically linked to the future of the global climate.
