Exploring Antarctica

 

Join Doug Wiens, professor of Earth and planetary sciences, as he describes his explorations of Antarctica. For some fifteen years, Wiens and his colleagues have been studying the physics behind ice movement and examining questions about where and how ice in the the western Antarctic ice sheet is melting.

A version of this episode was first released in December 2012.
