Sellers: IceBridge is probably one of the most important

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:16,020
field campaigns we have running right now.

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,020
The world is warming, and it's warming faster in the north,

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,030
around the Arctic, than anywhere else. By a factor of two-and-a-half. It's two-and-a-half times

7
00:00:24,050 --> 00:00:28,030
increase in warming here compared to the global average. 

8
00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:32,070
So this is where it's all happening. And as a consequence,

9
00:00:32,090 --> 00:00:36,070
the ice is melting fast. It's melting on the Arctic Ocean,

10
00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:40,080
and the ice mass on top of Greenland is melting and falling into the Atlantic. 

11
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,090
So we're mapping that using aircraft and satellites where we can. 

12
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:48,090
And of course we've got people on the ground checking against these data as well. 

13
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:52,110
So this is ground zero for global warming. We're doing a lot of work here

14
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:56,130
we've put a lot of effort into it, and I think it's paying off in terms of 

15
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:56,150
improved understanding.

00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:59,150
