Cryosphere Myth-busting
COP29 Cryosphere Pavilion

8:30 Cryosphere Coordination Meeting
Daily coordination meetings and negotiations updates will be held every morning the Cryosphere Pavilion.
Contact: Stefan Ruchti (stefan@iccinet.org) or Pam Pearson (pam@iccinet.org)

10:00 Emma Robertson | COP29 Early Career Scientist Program
Emma is currently a PhD student in physical oceanography. She uses water isotopes from ice core records to study atmospheric rivers and ice sheet-climate interactions in West Antarctica. She also studies the causes of salinity changes in the Southern Ocean and traces the impact of melting ice masses on the ocean’s salinity. These projects relate to global ocean circulation, and reflect the cascading impacts on nutrient distribution, upwelling, and marine ecosystems and fisheries.

10:45 Christina Draeger | COP29 Early Career Scientist Program
Christina’s work takes input from global climate models and uses metrological data to improve resolution to better understand glaciers and snow in Western Canada based on physical observations.

11:30 Myth-busting: Solar Radiation Management?

13:00 Myth-busting: Antarctic Marine Curtains?

14:30 Myth-busting: Regrowing Arctic Sea Ice with Plastic?

16:00 Solar Cooking – A Pathway to Emissions Prevention and Climate Crisis Mitigation
Solar Cookers International improves human health, economic well-being, women’s empowerment, and the environment by promoting climate-friendly solar cooking to address the challenge of 2.1 billion people cooking with polluting fuels. Over 4 million solar cookers have been identified around the globe. Estimates indicate they are avoiding 30+ million metric tons of CO 2 emissions over their lifetime. A panel will showcase this solution and how governments can include clean cooking in their NDCs.
