Podcast episode: Ice Sheet Loss and Sea Level Rise

Listen to the latest episode of South Pole, where PROTECT researcher Dr. Heiko Goelzer discusses sea level rise and the behavior of Antarctica’s ice sheets.

In this episode of South Pole, we learn about sea level rise with Dr. Heiko Goelzer, an expert in ice sheet modeling at the Norwegian Research Center, to explore the dynamics of Antarctica’s ice sheets and their contribution to rising sea levels.

The conversation delves into the differences between ice sheets, ice shelves, sea ice, and icebergs, while addressing the potential 57-meter sea-level rise if all Antarctic ice melted.

Dr. Goelzer explains the complex climate tipping points related to ice sheets and the future scenarios of climate change. The episode offers insights into the latest research on ice loss and how it might affect global coastlines, while emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change.
