Marco Tedesco is Measuring Polar Ice Caps: They’re Melting Faster

The vast, alien landscape of the Arctic is Marco Tedesco’s laboratory. Due to climate change, this region is the most endangered place on Earth. In this episode, Tedesco discusses what ice science can teach us about our environment and takes us through a day in the life of an arctic climate scientist, as he does in his book The Hidden Life of Ice.

Marco Tedesco is a Lamont Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and Adjunct Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). Learn more about his work: https://marcotedesco.com/
