The Polar Connection: linking past to future - special show with UKPN & UKAHT
Join us LIVE for a fascinating evening with two polar scientists who will share with us their insights into the current status of the polar regions. In particular, we'll hear about krill ecosystems and their role in global climate, as well as how the presence of microbes on the Greenland ice sheet is speeding up how fast it's melting. It's your chance to engage in these interesting subjects, and get your questions answered, no matter how wild or wacky!
