Listening to the Arctic

Airs Sunday, November 17, 2019, at 7 p.m. When you hear those statistics that tell you the oceans are warming or the glaciers are melting or it’s hotter or it’s colder and you wonder: Where do those numbers come from? This is where: From scientists measuring precisely what’s happening in the Arctic and what it could mean for all of us. In this program, from the National Science Foundation, we go to the top of the world to meeting scientists who are trekking over glaciers, diving into Arctic oceans, and engineers building brand new tools to figure out what’s going on up there, how it might change, what its impacts might be – on the Arctic and the rest of the globe…and find solutions.
