Climate sciemce

Is a Sleeping Giant Stirring in the Arctic?


Carbon in our atmosphere is a principal driver of climate change. And there's a massive amount of carbon locked up in the earth's northern polar region. So, NASA has decided to find out exactly how much carbon is in the Arctic region and how stable or unstable it might be and how it's reacting to climate change. Joining me now for more on this is Dr. Charles Miller - Research Scientist & principal investigator of the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) - a five-year NASA-led field campaign studying how climate change is affecting the Arctic's carbon cycle.
