Collapsing ice shelves and increased calving (or breaking off) of large icebergs in Greenland and Antarctica are symptoms of rapidly changing ice sheets and rising seas. Oceanographer Dr. Fiamma Straneo shares how scientists are working at the edges of glaciers to understand why these changes are happening, and how this large, internationally collaborative research can improve climate models for sea level rise prediction.
