#AGU13 video - The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming parts of the planet. There, ice shelves jut out from glaciers and into the sea, but the situation can change rapidly. In 1995 and 2002, for example, giant sections of the Larsen Ice Shelf disintegrated. When these remnants of glaciers and ice sheets float off and begin to melt, it can have implications for sea level rise. So Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., and other scientists keep close watch on the region, using ground-based instruments and satellites.
This week at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, Scambos presented a new look at the changes that occur before an ice shelf breaks apart. The research provides insight on the earliest instigators of ice shelf change.
The annual fall meeting of the AGU is a chance for more than 22,000 scientists, educators, and students to present their research, broaden their knowledge base and embrace the excitement of science. In these 15-second videos, scientists talk about the NASA science projects they are presented at the conference that you may not have seen.
