Event Description
BENEATH ICE
By Matt Covington
Department of Geosciences
Tues, Feb 5, 7:00 pm
Giffels Auditorium in Old Main
Photos and stories from his recent scientific expedition to Svalbard, a remote
archipelago in the Arctic off the northeast coast of Greenland. He
was part of a three-man team that was exploring and mapping caves formed
inside glaciers. The team constructed a 3D model of one cave system in order
to better understand how the caves form and the role they play in channeling
summer melt water beneath the glacier. Such caves are one of the largest
unknown factors in predicting the fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet and other
glaciers in a warming climate.
