Eric Rignot: Response of the Great Ice Sheets to Climate Warming
In ca 2012, as part of the Discover the Physical Sciences Breakfast Lecture Series at the University of California, climate researcher Eric Rignot (NASA/JPL) outlined our understanding of changes in the major cryosphere hotspots in Antarctica and Greenland, in his talk titled “Response of the Great Ice Sheets to Climate Warming”.
Read about his newest 2019 study, “Antarctica ice melt has accelerated by 280% in the last 4 decades” https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/14/world/climate-change-antarctica-ice-melt-twin-studies/index.html
