SUMMARY:Open lecture: Stopping the flood – Can we engineer ice sheets and save the homes of a billion people?
LOCATION:Rovaniemi\, Finland
DESCRIPTION:Research Professor John C. Moore from the Arctic Centre at the University o
 f Lapland and Beijing Normal University will have an open and streamed lect
 ure on how we could slow sea-level rise by stabilizing the ice sheets. The 
 lecture is in English and it will take place on United Nations Day on 24th 
 October at 4 PM (EET) at Arktikum in Rovaniemi.\nSea level rise will happen
  even if we stop using fossil fuels in the next few decades. Globally they 
 are expected to rise by a metre this century costing tens of billions euro 
 per year in coastal protection and forcing relocation of hundreds of millio
 ns of people and loss of many wetland ecosystems. Much of this rise is unav
 oidable even by cooling the climate because of ice sheet instabilities espe
 cially in Antarctica.\nThe research, led by John C. Moore, show that we cou
 ld stabilize the ice sheets by modifying the way they slide over their beds
 , or by increasing the buttressing that resists them as they float across t
 he Antarctic coastline. This would mean a series of huge engineering projec
 ts that would be massively challenging, but potentially far easier than dea
 ling with a collapsing ice sheet and rapidly rising global sea levels. What
  will be presented sounds fantastical, but is under serious discussion in t
 he scientific community. It is not a substitute for reducing greenhouse gas
  emission, rather a potential solution for one symptom of warming, and one 
 which will not work indefinitely.\n24.10.2018 16:00–17:00 (EET+1)\nArktikum
