Meet leading polar specialist Dr. Kate Winter, winner of a prestigious science fellowship, who’s journeyed to the ends of the earth to study the changing face of Antarctica. With her assistant James, she’s used an ice-penetrating radar and remotely sensed imagery to map and measure changes in Antarctica’s ice streams, paying particular attention to potentially life-giving sediments moving towards the coast.
Her work made headlines in 2018 when she discovered canyons and mountain ranges buried near the South Pole. This episode of Climate Travelers follows Kate and James as they traverse the extreme environment, aiming to unearth new knowledge about Antarctica’s role in future climate change.
