Lieser, JL and Simmonds, I and Stammerjohn, S, Why is there more ice in Antarctica? - Launch of Antarctic sea ice report, NEWS BRIEFING, Australian Science Media Centre, Adelaide, South Australia, 11 March 2014 (2014) [Media Interview]
Abstract
If the world is warming, as scientist continue to tell us, how can reports of increased Antarctic sea ice make any sense at all? Shouldn’t it be melting just like the Arctic? Today the Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (ACE CRC) will launch their Position Analysis: Antarctic Sea Ice and Climate Change 2014 to highlight where the research currently stands and to help sort out the confusion. Join us for this launch where experts, including the report lead author, will discuss the puzzling nature of sea ice at the South Pole – they may even explain how THAT ship could get stuck in excess sea ice.
The briefing will discuss the following issues:
What are the current levels of sea ice in Antarctica?
Why the thickness of the ice is so important
The two ends of the earth: sea ice variability between the Poles
The changing environment of the Antarctic sea ice under climate change
An official launch will be held in Hobart today at 12.30pm.
