"Pole to Pole Adventures: A Search for Clues to Future Global Sea Level"

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 02, 2009 – Stamford - From the Ilulissat Ice Fjord in Greenland, to the Pine Island Ice Shelf in Antarctica, New York University’s David Holland, invites us along on a journey from the extreme North to the extreme South in the next Great Decisions presentation on February 23 at 7 P.M. in the Cole Auditorium at Greenwich Library.  The program is free and underwritten by Greenwich Library.

An expert in polar environmental science, Professor Holland discusses two of his recent field trips to investigate the possibilities of future global sea level change from melting ice sheets.  Rolling icebergs, hidden crevasses, unstoppable mosquitoes, plane crashes, sun burn, frost bite, and snow blindness – its all part of the quest to understand sea level change!

Admission to Great Decisions programs are free, and refreshments are available courtesy of the Greenwich Library.
