Pint of Science lecture on different aspects of research into climate change
The melting of the Antarctic ice caps causes effects everywhere, especially coastal areas like Morecambe Bay where rising sea levels can lead to flooding and erosion. Counter intuitively, as glaciers shrink there's less water available during dry spells, making droughts worse for farmers. In our discussions, we'll explore how scientists track changes in Antarctic ice, see how statistics can help us plan sea defences to keep our communities safe, and delve into how engineering drought-resistant crops will ensure we have enough food in the future.
