Against the rising tide: polar climate change and comms in the misinformation era
- 👤 Speaker: Dr. Ella Gilbert
- 📅 Date & Time: Thursday 12 March 2026, 15:00 - 16:00
- 📍 Venue: Scott Polar Research Institute
Abstract
It’s hard to believe that we’re not living in a hellish satire. A blatant disregard for science; wilful programs of denial, doom and delay; and a rejection of evidence in favour of the political flavour du jour. Keeping one’s head against the rising tide of mis- and disinformation has never felt harder, but it’s never been more important for polar scientists to talk about their work and what it means. In this talk I’ll showcase some of the cutting-edge, high-resolution Antarctic regional climate model simulations I helped create as part of the PolarRES project and implore you to use them to answer the planet’s pressing polar research questions. Then, I’ll make a case for why you should share that research far and wide to fight the rising tide.
Series This talk is part of the Scott Polar Research Institute - Polar Physical Sciences Seminar series.
