DESCRIPTION:Projections of likely sea level rise by 2100 range from 28 to 
 101 cm. This wide range depends a great deal on the amount of fossil fuel 
 we burn over the next decades. However\, due to poorly understood processe
 s occurring in the ice sheets\, and how they will respond to the warming c
 limate and ocean\, bigger numbers than this are not out of the question. O
 ne way to improve our understanding is with geophysical observations made 
 on the ice sheet itself. In this talk I’ll explain how and why we do thi
 ngs like seismic experiments on ice shelves\, record tiny icequakes from b
 eneath ice streams and even measure the orientation of ice crystals using 
 radar.
