Ice Stories: Glaciologists at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet(Webcast)
Running Time: 00:46:36
Meet glaciologist Slawek Tulaczyk and his team, who work in the fast-emerging field of ice sheet dynamics. They speak to us just after returning from a month at a remote camp on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Meet glaciologist Slawek Tulaczyk and his team, who work in the fast-emerging field of ice sheet dynamics. No longer thought of as giant slabs of slow-moving frozen water, ice sheets are energized by a complex system of subglacial lakes, floods, streams, and ice quakes. This group will have just returned from a month at a remote camp on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and will have lots to tell us about their icy adventures.

Nadine, a glaciology graduate student from UC Santa Cruz, spent four weeks on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet investigating ice sheets and global climate change.
Ice Stories: Slawek Tulaczyk on Why He Investigates Ice Sheet Behavior(Clip)
Running Time: 00:03:09
Dr. Tulaczyk, a glaciologist from UC Santa Cruz, studies the lakes, floods, and ice quakes that occur under the giant glaciers of Antarctica. He is among only 200 scientists world-wide who study ice sheet dynamics and its role in climate change.
