(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) A group of scientists and doctoral students from UC Davis recently traveled to Antarctica where they became the first group to collect turbulence measurements from beneath an ice shelf. With this data, scientists will be able to better understand how quickly ice shelves are melting and to make predictions of how these rates will change under future climate scenarios.

The film "Arctic Emergency: Scientists Speak On Melting Ice and Global Impacts" features climate scientists discussing the critical state of the Arctic. Rising temperatures are causing sea ice melt and permafrost thaw, destabilizing what's known as "Earth's Air Conditioner."

This rapid Arctic transformation is central to global warming's profound impacts on weather patterns, natural systems, and human life worldwide.

The film features experts such as Jennifer Francis (Rutgers/Woods Hole), Ron Prinn (MIT), Natalia Shakhova (U. Alaska-Fairbanks), Kevin Schaefer (NSIDC), Stephen J. Vavrus (U. Wisconsin-Madison), Nikita Zimov (Russian Academy of Sciences), Jorien Vonk (Utrecht), and Jeff Masters (Weather Underground).
