Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! It’s said that the poles are the thermometer for the rest of the planet- what happens to the rest of us, has already been happening there for years. It’s easy with the state of the world currently to bunker down in a little private bubble, but its more essential than ever that we broaden our horizons and remember that there’s a world out there that is incredible- and needs us! And if that sounds too heavy for you then instead why not join us to escape as we take to on audial adventures to these strange and remote and beautiful places? We’ll speak to guests who’ve looked polar bears in the eye, who drive 12k ton ships through ice 9ft thick or who spend years doing science with no-one but three other people and thousands of penguins for company! These are Polar Times we live in. Join us, and we’ll take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists). Music credits: ”Scuba” - Metre Unaltered License: CC BY-NC-SA

Hello and welcome back! Today on Polar Times we have a palaeoclimatologist from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey.

Join Jack Buckingham to hear all about her adventure to Sherman Island, drilling for ice cores as part of the Wacswain project (WArm Climate Stability of West Antarctic ice sheet in the last INterglacial!) and how we can use these icy time capsules to better predict what might happen to our climate in the future.

Email us at thesearepolartimes@gmail.com if you have any questions, recommendations or if you are a polar person who would like to be on PT!
