This side event features Dr. Jonathan Wille, ETH Zurich, lead author of the two companion papers summarized above. He volunteered at the COP28 Cryosphere Pavilion as part of our Early Career Scientists Program, sharing the latest scientific findings with policy makers. He organized this event with Dr. Martin Siegert, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Cornwall) at the University of Exeter. They focus on the new vulnerability of Antarctica to a range of extreme events from fossil fuel warming, looking at weather, sea ice extent, ocean heatwaves, glacier and ice shelf systems, and the effect on marine and land biodiversity.
