DESCRIPTION:A lunchtime webinar where Cambridge experts reveal how their l
 atest ice‑sheet research and modelling are deepening our understanding o
 f the challenges posed by rising sea levels.\n\nOpen to: Alumni and guests
   Friends and supporters  Postgraduate students  Undergraduates  Universit
 y members\n\nGlaciers and ice sheets from Greenland to Antarctica are losi
 ng ice faster than ever\, adding vast amounts of water to the ocean and ac
 celerating global sea‑level rise. What drives this rapid mass loss\, and
  how do ice sheets melt? Our ability to understand melting ice sheets is a
 n important aspect of predicting future sea levels and understanding the i
 mpacts on the UK’s low‑lying coasts and communities worldwide.\n\nChai
 red by Professor Jerome Neufeld\, Professor of Earth and Planetary Flu
 id Dynamics\, this webinar brings together three Cambridge researchers on 
 the front line of cryosphere science:\n\n- Dr Rebecca Dell (Scott Pola
 r Research Institute) : using satellites\, machine learning\, and field-
 based measurements to measure ice-shelf surface melting over time.\n- Dr
  Rachael Rhodes (Department of Earth Sciences) : drilling polar ice 
 cores to decode past climate shifts and improve future projections.\n- Pro
 fessor John Taylor (Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical 
 Physics): building next‑generation models that couple ice‑sheet dynami
 cs with ocean circulation to sharpen sea‑level forecasts.\n\nIn this web
 inar\, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how Cambridge researchers ar
 e approaching the challenge of ice‑sheet melt and sea‑level rise\, fro
 m real‑time satellite monitoring and advanced climate modelling to ice
 ‑core fieldwork that sharpens our projections for the decades ahead.\n\n
