Presentation: Giant Ice Sheets Threaten Globe !?: Climate Change and the Greenland Ice Sheet

Were Greenland's glaciers to melt, sea level could rise six meters and inundate some of the most populous cities on Earth. Recent data suggests that Greenland is losing ice at a rapid rate. But why? Is it natural variability or global warming? Join us for a night with glaciologist and polar adv...
