Webinar One: Professor Tim Naish and Sea Level Rise

What?
Melting of the Antarctic ice sheets could push global sea-level rise up to 1.5m by the end of the century. In our first webinar, Professor Tim Naish presents his latest documentary and is on hand to answer your questions and show how you can play a vital role in protecting Antarctica’s ice sheets, and preventing sea-level rise that will affect millions of people.

Who?
Professor Tim Naish. ​With over 14 scientific expeditions to Antarctica under his belt the former director of the Antarctic Research Centre and current Antarctic Science platform Programme Leader has dedicated his career to understanding past, present and future implications of climate change.
