COP28 Video of the Week: “Future Sea Level Rise from the Antarctic Ice Sheet: Equity and Intergenerational Justice”

Dr. Holly Han volunteered at the COP28 Cryosphere Pavilion as part of our Early Career Scientists Program, moderating side events and explaining the latest science to policy makers. She specializes in ice sheets; her research uses paleoclimate data over past glacial cycles to strengthen models and better predict future sea level rise. Most recently, her work with the US Department of Energy focused on regional variations in sea level rise due to ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets under various emission scenarios. After recently completing a two-year postdoctoral research position Los Alamos National Laboratory last month, she is now a NASA Postdoc Program Fellow at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
