Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Cara sits down with Dr. James Lea, a glaciologist working in the Department of Geography and Planning here at the University of Liverpool who uses a combination of satellite images, numerical modelling and fieldwork to predict the past, present and future changes of glaciers around the world and understand their impact on our environment. We also talk about the wide-ranging effects of glacial melting as a result of climate change, his favourite glaciers (including Kangiata Nunata Sermia in Greenland) and his work as chair of the LGBTQ+ staff and postgraduate network here at Liverpool.
