Science in Antarctica: Why Should You Care?
One Zoom Session
Thur., Apr. 17, 2025, 7-9 pm MT

Why is Thwaites Glacier called the Doomsday Glacier? How and why is it being studied both above and below the ice? Why should your tax dollars fund long-term ecological research in the dry valleys of Antarctica? In this lecture, Dr. Susan MacGregor Batenhorst, a chemist who has lived and worked in Antarctica, shares her surprising answers and ice tales about Antarctic researchers and the science that lured them there to conduct the most challenging research on the planet.
