Science
Our guest is Elizabeth Orr of the German Research Centre for Geosciences and this week on Polar Times she and your host Jack Buckingham are not going North and they're not going South either. Instead we investigate a previously unmentioned part of the cryosphere: alpine regions!
Mountains!
*does excited dance*
We chat about earth surface process, landscape evolution over the last million years (and more!) and the impacts climate change is having on our mountains. What is a glacier? Do rocks get sunburnt? How can you tell what mountains regions looked like so long ago? All these questions answered and some PLUS Fieldwork Funtimes from the Himalayas!
