In this episode of South Pole, host Clark Marchese engages with Dr. Elin Darelius, an esteemed physical oceanographer, to unravel the complex behaviors of Antarctica’s ice shelves. Together, they explore the vital interactions between the ice shelves and the Southern Ocean, illuminating their pivotal role in regulating the global climate and the serious implications of their melting.
Dr. Darelius sheds light on the distinctions between ice shelves and ice sheets, discussing how the melting of ice shelves, although already part of the ocean, can significantly influence sea level rise and transform the ocean's physical properties, with potential repercussions for marine life. Additionally, the episode provides a fascinating glimpse into the techniques physical oceanographers employ to gather crucial data in the harsh Antarctic environment, enhancing our understanding of these critical processes.
