Dr. Erich Osterberg shares findings from his research on Arctic climate change using ice cores!

We’ll learn how rapid changes in the Arctic – warming at the fastest rate in the world – impact sea level and extreme storms here in New England. We’ll see how ice cores are collected from the highest mountaintops in Alaska and the Greenland Ice Sheet, and how they help us better understand the climate changes we’re seeing today and what’s to come in the future. Erich will also discuss recent progress to reduce climate impacts locally and internationally.

Dr. Erich Osterberg is an Associate Professor of Earth Science at Dartmouth College studying how glaciers responded to natural climate changes in the past, and how they are responding to human-caused climate change today.
