    4: How to study the world's most unstable glacier | Meghan Sharp, Professor Sridhar Anandakrishnan & Dr Pete Davis
    Sep 24 2024
    This is your glaciology briefing! The race is on to understand the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, the world's widest glacier which is retreating and changing rapidly. As warming changes, communities and governments around the world need the best possible answer to the sea level rise question: how much and how fast?
    Glaciologists Meghan Sharp, Professor Sridhar Anandakrishnan, and oceanographer Dr Pete Davis, explain the significance of the glacier, talk about their epic field work to study it, and explain the key mechanics that are shaping the glaciers future.
    This podcast was recorded in the middle of the final science conference for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, when findings were being shared and new models were being hashed out. By the end of the week, the community shared their latest model predictions: that the melting of Thwaites accelerate through the 21st and 22 centuries, leading to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the 23rd century. Crucially they also shared that emissions levels make an actual difference to the timeline of melting.

    3: When scientists talk about the climate | Prof Jane Francis, Dr Emma Boland & Dr Ella Gilbert
    Aug 19 2024
    Story or statistics? Urgency or alarmism? Top line or deep dive? Three climate scientists talk about the state of climate science in the media, and what they've learned about communicating about climate change to the general public.
    Tom Sheldon from the Science Media Centre speaks to BAS' Professor Dame Jane Francis, Dr Emma Boland and Dr Ella Gilbert, in a discussion that spans from the nitty gritty of what language they use, to describing their dream documentary series.
    We all want science experts to lead conversations about our climate in the media - but gathering the courage and experience to talk to the media is no mean feat. They share their top tips for talking about a topic that can seem scary and divisive, and what motivates them to keep going.

    2: When extreme weather goes to extreme places | Dr Louise Sime and Dr Tom Bracegirdle
    Jul 9 2024
    It's summer 2022, and an area of East Antarctica is over 38.5°C warmer than it should be. The mercury has risen to a chilly -10°C... but it should be -50°C. It's the most extreme temperature event ever recorded, and we now know this was caused by global warming.
    The increase in extreme weather events is the erratic, sharp end of climate change. But what happens when extreme weather hits the continent of extremes - Antarctica?
    Climate scientists Dr Louise Sime and Dr Tom Bracegirdle from British Antarctic Survey are here with your briefing why global warming is causing extreme weather. How do we work out which extreme events are due to climate change? And what does this mean for our future climate?
