UC Science Radio Ep10: Science on thin ice

As climate change accelerates, the warming earth means our world-famous glaciers like Fox and Franz Josef, are receding and thinning. We need to study them while we still can. In this episode of UC Science Radio, award-winning teacher and glaciologist Dr Heather Purdie talks about studying endangered glaciers, research, passion for the environment, and why virtual teaching will never replace real-life experiences with nature. UC Science Radio is a science podcast series by the College of Science at the University of Canterbury (UC), New Zealand.
