1 00:00:41,000 --> 00:01:22,000 This is radio. 2 00:01:22,000 --> 00:05:43,000 If you go shopping with. 3 00:11:07,000 --> 00:10:39,000 This week on Radio Eco shark. 4 00:10:39,000 --> 00:09:21,000 We're going to the end of the earth. 5 00:09:21,000 --> 00:15:14,000 It's a feature-length interview about new science the chills 6 00:01:25,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Antarctica is melting. 7 00:03:37,000 --> 00:10:10,000 I guarantee you will read headlines and see amazing video news 8 00:10:50,000 --> 00:12:24,000 from the science were discovering this week sea levels will rise 9 00:12:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000 around the planet for centuries reshaping the coastlines and 10 00:11:08,000 --> 00:03:00,000 civilization, 11 00:03:00,000 --> 00:11:23,000 then we'll finish up with the return of Marjorie Wilde craft with 12 00:11:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000 more tips on growing your own groceries. 13 00:01:26,000 --> 00:11:18,000 It's all food for thought and action, 14 00:11:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000 I'm Alex Smith, 15 00:14:19,000 --> 00:16:40,000 the journey begins. 16 00:09:47,000 --> 00:07:21,000 There's a lot of action in Antarctica and that can bring changes 17 00:10:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000 all over the world. 18 00:14:22,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Here to discuss recent sciences Dr. Roland C warmer. 19 00:10:06,000 --> 00:15:49,000 He is a researcher with the Antarctic climate and ecosystems 20 00:03:40,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Cooperative Research Centre at the University of Tasmania Tasmania 21 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:08,000 is the closest Australian state to Antarctica Dr. Warner welcome 22 00:11:08,000 --> 00:15:59,000 to Radio Eco shock. 23 00:03:42,000 --> 00:09:32,000 With him. 24 00:15:32,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Well, 25 00:02:43,000 --> 00:07:56,000 thank you for joining us for an update on this frozen world at the 26 00:07:56,000 --> 00:04:07,000 South Pole. 27 00:04:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000 First of all what parts of Australia are closest to Antarctica and 28 00:06:51,000 --> 00:14:04,000 what claims does your country have on that continent. 29 00:06:25,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Okay. 30 00:12:05,000 --> 00:16:05,000 Well, 31 00:16:05,000 --> 00:12:00,000 I'm here in Tasmania of an island state of Australia. 32 00:12:00,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Half of the Australian mainland and well I thought still some 33 00:15:04,000 --> 00:16:28,000 distance away to our south there are only a few small islands in 34 00:16:28,000 --> 00:07:20,000 the middle of the Southern Ocean, 35 00:07:20,000 --> 00:04:43,000 between Australia and Antarctica. 36 00:04:43,000 --> 00:13:43,000 However, 37 00:13:43,000 --> 00:02:19,000 as you alluded Australia does have a territorial claim to a large 38 00:03:09,000 --> 00:15:30,000 piece of the Antarctic, 39 00:15:30,000 --> 00:17:22,000 but 42% of it, 40 00:17:22,000 --> 00:04:17,000 to be precise now various countries establish these claims in an 41 00:04:17,000 --> 00:08:39,000 age of heroic exploration. 42 00:08:39,000 --> 00:02:23,000 You know putting out flags and claiming things in the name of if 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:11:43,000 you know, 44 00:11:43,000 --> 00:04:04,000 typically, 45 00:04:04,000 --> 00:02:37,000 your moniker your state with the done thing. 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:12:51,000 In those days and these claims exist and some of them actually 47 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000 tend to overlap, 48 00:14:02,000 --> 00:17:26,000 particularly around the most successful part then tactic in that. 49 00:17:26,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Think of the Antarctic Peninsula points up to South America and 50 00:12:50,000 --> 00:15:23,000 one big think there isn't actually coined by anyone at all. 51 00:15:23,000 --> 00:17:06,000 But these claims are on ice and if you will. 52 00:17:06,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Under their party. 53 00:16:47,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Treaty which was established in the 1950s and it's that treaty 54 00:14:41,000 --> 00:06:35,000 that governs how people behave in Antarctica. 55 00:06:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 These days, 56 00:07:36,000 --> 00:13:30,000 whether they have claims to particular pieces of turf all but I 57 00:18:50,000 --> 00:09:41,000 will not. 58 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And have you been there. 59 00:13:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Yes I think twice. 60 00:14:45,000 --> 00:11:10,000 I think of 3 summer seasons with heat strain in US, 61 00:11:10,000 --> 00:18:30,000 British, 62 00:18:30,000 --> 00:14:45,000 French collaborative project this imaginatively called ice cap. 63 00:14:45,000 --> 00:15:09,000 This is a bit of a mouthful stands for investigating Christ very 64 00:17:49,000 --> 00:06:25,000 evolution through collaborative 2 physical profiling and what that 65 00:06:25,000 --> 00:15:38,000 means is that we have a whole range of instruments on an aircraft 66 00:15:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 , the fact of the rejuvenated DC 3 genuine World War II vintage 67 00:12:53,000 --> 00:16:16,000 and we fly for hours and hours. 68 00:16:16,000 --> 00:17:50,000 They are the ice sheet measuring many different things and I'm 69 00:17:50,000 --> 00:13:24,000 sure we will discuss today using that aircraft. 70 00:13:24,000 --> 00:04:08,000 So I was a Casey station which is one of 3 Australian basis on 71 00:11:08,000 --> 00:09:43,000 continent itself that's due south of Western Australia and I've 72 00:09:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000 got there. 73 00:06:44,000 --> 00:15:27,000 In this modern era either by flying directly there in a jet plane 74 00:17:57,000 --> 00:14:41,000 from here in Havana to the runaway on the ice cap behind the 75 00:16:21,000 --> 00:04:46,000 station or rather more long way around changing planes that. 76 00:17:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000 US they with murder when flying for hours and hours allow you know 77 00:18:31,000 --> 00:05:57,000 ski equipped Hercules to land at and on one occasion I've come 78 00:05:57,000 --> 00:16:50,000 home on our ice breaker which took 7 considered try. 79 00:11:02,000 --> 00:15:23,000 It's a giant place. 80 00:15:23,000 --> 00:09:17,000 I mean it is a real continent now in a shocking bit of news 81 00:09:17,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Antarctica just experienced the 2 hardest days ever recorded there 82 00:05:01,000 --> 00:18:53,000 , namely 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit, 83 00:18:53,000 --> 00:14:36,000 or 17.5° C and that was that. 84 00:14:36,000 --> 00:13:10,000 The Argentinian Esperanza Base on the Antarctic Peninsula. 85 00:13:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000 I've heard that was warmer than the temperature in Britain on the 86 00:10:13,000 --> 00:05:25,000 same day in late March. 87 00:05:25,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Is that just a freak occurrence or do you think Antarctica is 88 00:10:58,000 --> 00:20:28,000 warming. 89 00:20:29,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Yeah, 90 00:07:40,000 --> 00:19:34,000 I don't say that being involved with the phone day here at home. 91 00:19:34,000 --> 00:18:08,000 It's not part of either or outside the Antarctic Peninsula. 92 00:18:08,000 --> 00:05:23,000 But think you're Antarctica pointing South America is an area of 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Antarctica that shows some of the greatest climate warming of 94 00:12:26,000 --> 00:09:37,000 recent years. 95 00:09:37,000 --> 00:13:48,000 For the whole planet, 96 00:13:48,000 --> 00:15:52,000 perhaps 5° Celsius warmer over the last 50 years, 97 00:15:52,000 --> 00:07:25,000 according to the British Antarctic Survey. 98 00:07:25,000 --> 00:10:38,000 So it's consistent with that sort of situation that you're going 99 00:10:38,000 --> 00:19:52,000 to keep getting record breaking maximum temperatures and that of 100 00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:35,000 course one hot days where there while the trend in hot days who 101 00:21:45,000 --> 00:20:20,000 climbed into it was not a theorist of previous record was only 0.4 102 00:08:31,000 --> 00:12:56,000 degree Celsius lower that was back in 1961 and it was even later 103 00:12:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000 in the year as a month later was in April that's so it's only anti 104 00:17:00,000 --> 00:18:12,000 think the reason is warming. 105 00:18:12,000 --> 00:11:46,000 And so when I 3 state holidays. 106 00:11:46,000 --> 00:06:17,000 You know, 107 00:06:17,000 --> 00:10:38,000 so not a freak occurrence. 108 00:15:18,000 --> 00:12:39,000 All right, 109 00:12:39,000 --> 00:15:09,000 well, 110 00:15:09,000 --> 00:10:43,000 let's turn to a new scientific paper you were directly involved in 111 00:11:03,000 --> 00:12:28,000 the title is ocean access to a cavity beneath glacier in East 112 00:15:18,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Antarctica. 113 00:16:49,000 --> 00:06:21,000 We need to frame that a bit. 114 00:06:21,000 --> 00:20:31,000 Obviously, 115 00:20:31,000 --> 00:09:04,000 where's the tartan glacier and how big is it. 116 00:09:25,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Yes, 117 00:14:25,000 --> 00:05:56,000 certainly. 118 00:05:56,000 --> 00:15:40,000 The Congress is the largest growth you know East Antarctica. 119 00:15:40,000 --> 00:08:15,000 It came to split Antarctic are up by which in the world, 120 00:08:15,000 --> 00:22:15,000 we're looking at. 121 00:22:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000 After all, 122 00:12:16,000 --> 00:20:29,000 and I think you know everything is sort of you know and so we 123 00:20:29,000 --> 00:15:13,000 don't particularly is parts weaving between the Greenwich Meridian 124 00:15:13,000 --> 00:22:09,000 and the line below Africa Australia so the Congo. 125 00:22:09,000 --> 00:17:02,000 If you can fight on almost exactly the opposite side and 126 00:17:02,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Antarctica so less brands when looking at about 116 he strongly 127 00:06:59,000 --> 00:16:49,000 too. 128 00:16:49,000 --> 00:15:31,000 So almost directly below the city of Perth. 129 00:15:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000 In the capital city of Western Australia. 130 00:12:06,000 --> 00:11:01,000 He took a very large grace period driving 540,000 square 131 00:12:11,000 --> 00:16:43,000 kilometers of East Antarctica. 132 00:16:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000 He was like, 133 00:08:44,000 --> 00:17:37,000 I think that is being more than twice the size of for you. 134 00:17:37,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Australian state of Victoria for North American audience audiences 135 00:23:10,000 --> 00:21:23,000 might be more helpful to say that somewhat more than twice the 136 00:21:53,000 --> 00:19:05,000 area of all the Great Lakes put together. 137 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:07,000 And that's big. 138 00:18:07,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Yeah. 139 00:11:58,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Yes, 140 00:07:49,000 --> 00:14:39,000 okay. 141 00:14:39,000 --> 00:18:34,000 And so just food to fill out is the story this 70 billion tons of 142 00:18:34,000 --> 00:19:09,000 ice flows out of that quite you know every year that's amazingly 143 00:21:19,000 --> 00:22:31,000 about the flow rate of Niagara Falls, 144 00:22:31,000 --> 00:10:44,000 but obviously it's moving slightly, 145 00:10:44,000 --> 00:16:36,000 but on a very grand scale. 146 00:22:56,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Is that the amount that actually reaches the sea every year. 147 00:23:39,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Yep, 148 00:18:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000 that's, 149 00:16:11,000 --> 00:14:36,000 that's what that that out of ice that you can collect in half a 150 00:14:36,000 --> 00:15:08,000 million square kilometers, 151 00:15:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000 I should say that they are itself is more than 30km wide at the 152 00:08:12,000 --> 00:12:27,000 front considerably stand and Niagara Falls and its 200 meters 153 00:14:07,000 --> 00:20:38,000 thick. 154 00:20:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 So there's a lot of life on the moon. 155 00:23:40,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Well, 156 00:11:11,000 --> 00:22:53,000 you've hit something that's a little confusing to some of us we 157 00:22:53,000 --> 00:10:38,000 have sea ice which doesn't directly add to sea level rise. 158 00:10:38,000 --> 00:21:02,000 We have melting from land ice like Greenland which does add to the 159 00:21:42,000 --> 00:16:55,000 sea level rise and then in the Arctic. 160 00:16:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000 There's only a couple small ice shelves left attached to Canadian 161 00:13:58,000 --> 00:19:31,000 polar islands but in Antarctica seems confusing, 162 00:19:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 could you just give us a quick update on the relationship between 163 00:19:14,000 --> 00:21:08,000 sea ice ice shelves and land based glaciers. 164 00:18:29,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Yeah, 165 00:10:20,000 --> 00:23:14,000 this is certainly something which could use a lot of people. 166 00:23:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Yet the only turning to do it through water or flowing into the 167 00:09:49,000 --> 00:14:19,000 sea. 168 00:14:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000 That could affect sea level rises. 169 00:09:21,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Obviously I that's currently not floating on the ocean because 170 00:17:36,000 --> 00:10:09,000 courtesy of the year old Archimedes we have you know the guy 171 00:15:39,000 --> 00:12:03,000 that's floating on the ocean when it melts well simply filling the 172 00:13:33,000 --> 00:19:33,000 volume. 173 00:19:33,000 --> 00:21:45,000 It was previously displacing. 174 00:21:45,000 --> 00:23:19,000 So that's not to say that the melting of things like ice shelves 175 00:24:19,000 --> 00:17:30,000 which is. 176 00:13:21,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Got if your that the floating on the ocean. 177 00:19:53,000 --> 00:10:07,000 That's not to say that won't have an impact on the earth's system 178 00:12:37,000 --> 00:13:02,000 because it's only going to fresh of top layers of the ocean that 179 00:15:52,000 --> 00:18:26,000 in terms of the level rises ground a life like Greenland and like 180 00:21:16,000 --> 00:16:40,000 for little ice caps are still remain you where you know Arctic and 181 00:19:20,000 --> 00:12:44,000 now graces around the world and a sleeping giant in the lift, 182 00:12:44,000 --> 00:16:37,000 which perhaps is not fleeting Antarctica that's where think was 183 00:16:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000 going to come from. 184 00:17:38,000 --> 00:09:52,000 I would like to fall out of the on story as well. 185 00:09:52,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Think about feel it is this is the host of surface freezing and 186 00:17:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000 it's around Antarctica and in the Arctic. 187 00:14:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000 It's one of the big seasonal changes in the Earth's climate system 188 00:11:05,000 --> 00:20:46,000 around Antarctica in the wintertime. 189 00:20:46,000 --> 00:15:12,000 The area where the ocean surface is predominantly covered by why 190 00:16:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000 such been frozen over the ocean itself. 191 00:14:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 That's almost double for signs of that big, 192 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:59,000 white pants down of that the part of the globe. 193 00:13:59,000 --> 00:23:53,000 And when that sea ice is forming the Fiat itself is relatively 194 00:23:53,000 --> 00:18:17,000 fresh from the salt water on that they could become smug Saltire 195 00:11:58,000 --> 00:20:42,000 and wipe a different story for one we want to tell today that's 196 00:20:42,000 --> 00:24:55,000 actually what drives a lot of the deep global ocean circulation 197 00:13:26,000 --> 00:23:49,000 further things would happen with sea ice around Antarctica. 198 00:23:49,000 --> 00:19:43,000 We were fixing the the deep political be overturning circulation 199 00:23:03,000 --> 00:12:44,000 alcohol plant. 200 00:16:55,000 --> 00:18:09,000 The progression of ourselves shelves and the ice sheet is also an 201 00:18:09,000 --> 00:23:30,000 interesting one. 202 00:23:30,000 --> 00:25:14,000 The melting away all the changes in ourselves don't directly 203 00:11:05,000 --> 00:22:28,000 affect civil rights of a but there are still Ferraris something 204 00:22:48,000 --> 00:13:42,000 for the gatekeepers particularly for Antarctica in terms of the 205 00:15:22,000 --> 00:16:08,000 rate at which ice flows from a grounded ice into the ocean and we 206 00:17:28,000 --> 00:22:11,000 believe in effect changes in the ice shelves are going to be that 207 00:22:51,000 --> 00:19:46,000 the major drivers in changing the dynamics of the whole why she 208 00:20:26,000 --> 00:19:00,000 could phone they do play a big role in in the future. 209 00:19:00,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Sea level. 210 00:19:11,000 --> 00:26:53,000 It's been compared to pulling the cork out of a bottle. 211 00:22:14,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Yes, 212 00:15:35,000 --> 00:21:28,000 all you can think of it as a keystone you know basically you have 213 00:21:28,000 --> 00:10:52,000 a big Ice shelf you know talking of the biggest ones are very 214 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000 firmly professionally in very large but that would in fact 215 00:16:16,000 --> 00:18:38,000 probably be called fees if they weren't. 216 00:18:38,000 --> 00:19:03,000 Follow us and the presence of the ice shelf there provides 217 00:15:14,000 --> 00:17:09,000 retiring stress that's holding back ice which is flowing typically 218 00:24:19,000 --> 00:17:54,000 I flew in Antarctica is concentrated into major quite fast moving 219 00:17:54,000 --> 00:24:14,000 out late. 220 00:24:54,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Well, 221 00:11:25,000 --> 00:27:50,000 if you know so I streams and it's quite focused for likely to top 222 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:14,000 the lot of mentioning before and often is channeled into these 223 00:12:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 very being ourselves and so if you do something to change the ice 224 00:11:57,000 --> 00:26:17,000 shelf. 225 00:26:17,000 --> 00:17:00,000 You're going to do something to change the whole balance of forces 226 00:19:20,000 --> 00:26:53,000 from that's that's restraining the writer was that ice flows into 227 00:27:43,000 --> 00:18:24,000 the ocean. 228 00:22:05,000 --> 00:26:29,000 It seems parts of Antarctica are actually below sea level. 229 00:26:29,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Is that correct and what would that continent look like without 230 00:19:53,000 --> 00:14:34,000 the ice cap. 231 00:24:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Yes, 232 00:13:45,000 --> 00:12:00,000 that's certainly true again that East West Antarctica dividing 233 00:12:00,000 --> 00:21:13,000 line is is perhaps a useful one here for a long time. 234 00:21:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000 We've known by probing through to see how thick the ice is and how 235 00:25:57,000 --> 00:24:21,000 far down that is bedrock company we've known. 236 00:24:21,000 --> 00:18:13,000 There's a lot of the West. 237 00:18:13,000 --> 00:15:07,000 And I think I see is standing on the sea floor maybe half a mile 238 00:15:07,000 --> 00:14:20,000 or more still needles but deep and that includes, 239 00:14:20,000 --> 00:15:31,000 actually the, 240 00:15:31,000 --> 00:21:04,000 the the summit agreed to between I suppose westwards to the Rafah 241 00:22:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000 itself and I thought flows eastwards towards you know a month of 242 00:15:19,000 --> 00:14:52,000 sitting in around towards South America. 243 00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:15,000 So if I cheat hadn't developed there. 244 00:15:15,000 --> 00:19:59,000 This would just the ocean one could go to work well could go 245 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000 sailing and what developed in the last 2 years, 246 00:22:33,000 --> 00:14:18,000 partly as a result of major aerial survey that we've done with ice 247 00:15:08,000 --> 00:22:21,000 cap project is we have better defined it. 248 00:22:21,000 --> 00:12:46,000 The extensive areas of East Antarctica are also seeking on bedrock 249 00:14:26,000 --> 00:19:08,000 that deep below sea level. 250 00:19:08,000 --> 00:28:28,000 In this case, 251 00:28:28,000 --> 00:14:42,000 said that turned out because I feel even sicker than we thought in 252 00:15:12,000 --> 00:26:42,000 some places, 253 00:26:42,000 --> 00:19:56,000 it's 2 miles thick and in particular, 254 00:19:56,000 --> 00:25:38,000 we've been exploring the aurora Basin, 255 00:25:38,000 --> 00:20:13,000 which is a vast area in the catchment of Tottenham life here and 256 00:24:13,000 --> 00:25:57,000 we heard inside the bedrock channels that connect that deep cover 257 00:29:27,000 --> 00:17:42,000 to the coast of of the aurora based around the world so called 258 00:18:12,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Wilkes. 259 00:24:12,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Sub-glacial basin which is immediately to its east. 260 00:14:45,000 --> 00:22:58,000 If the law Michael submarine part of of eastern our state 261 00:29:28,000 --> 00:18:21,000 convinced that we removed all the are with that, 262 00:18:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000 I think it would simply become a collection of islands you could 263 00:24:04,000 --> 00:27:27,000 fail from the Pacific to the Atlantic without having to go past 264 00:28:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Cape Horn and he can talk, 265 00:16:30,000 --> 00:17:23,000 it wouldn't have seen major itself, 266 00:17:23,000 --> 00:29:04,000 it might even writers see. 267 00:16:46,000 --> 00:14:59,000 And so until they new research done by a team, 268 00:14:59,000 --> 00:24:22,000 we didn't really understand how warmer waters could undermine this 269 00:24:22,000 --> 00:14:34,000 tartan glacier. 270 00:14:34,000 --> 00:16:55,000 How does it work. 271 00:16:55,000 --> 00:27:27,000 And how did you do the science to find this out. 272 00:28:18,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Yeah, 273 00:23:39,000 --> 00:30:19,000 the, 274 00:30:19,000 --> 00:29:14,000 the way that works is that will be crucial question for getting 275 00:29:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000 melting of ourselves and it's changing the follow. 276 00:29:28,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Ground a life behind used to working out is the warm ocean water 277 00:17:53,000 --> 00:16:48,000 nearby and more importantly all the pathways by which it can 278 00:29:18,000 --> 00:16:12,000 circulated to weigh up all the continental shelf and kind of 279 00:16:12,000 --> 00:18:46,000 actually getting into these cavities underneath the ice shelves. 280 00:18:46,000 --> 00:15:58,000 They have much in the time left, 281 00:15:58,000 --> 00:29:31,000 you can see how deep the ocean is if you fire up and down with on 282 00:29:31,000 --> 00:18:23,000 you know shit, 283 00:18:23,000 --> 00:16:47,000 but it's very hard to work out what's the geometry of the sea 284 00:17:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000 floor underneath. 285 00:19:29,000 --> 00:21:51,000 Maybe one of needing 2 kilometers of 286 00:15:23,000 --> 00:26:49,000 I now Wesley serving aircraft reviews have a radar system that can 287 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:32,000 see right through to the base for the iPhone and can even see lot 288 00:27:32,000 --> 00:25:56,000 of internal structure through the life as well. 289 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:49,000 We also have some magnetometers to try and figure out what sort of 290 00:29:29,000 --> 00:18:04,000 character and actually underlying the ICC most importantly for 291 00:18:04,000 --> 00:25:54,000 this work, 292 00:25:54,000 --> 00:16:19,000 we had a very sense the gravity money before long we mention my 293 00:17:19,000 --> 00:27:33,000 new variations in the strength of local gravity I'm flying very 294 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:46,000 near the surface and very slowly. 295 00:29:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000 Obviously it's very maybe 140 knots, 296 00:25:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000 these is ideal for that sort of survey. 297 00:24:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000 You know they mean you have to fit now and there's a lot of 298 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000 detailed work to figure out how those tiny variations in the 299 00:26:51,000 --> 00:29:25,000 strength of work or gravity can be translated into what death of 300 00:30:55,000 --> 00:20:41,000 ice and water a raucous directly below your 5 track so I right I 301 00:20:41,000 --> 00:26:02,000 can't penetrate seawater water. 302 00:26:02,000 --> 00:16:47,000 So we don't see the bottom of an icy so we only 3 the bedrock 303 00:18:57,000 --> 00:23:29,000 where the ice is on the ground. 304 00:23:29,000 --> 00:17:02,000 But this gravity days are allowed us to map is inaccessible 305 00:30:02,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Welshman cavities underneath ourselves and indeed to map the 306 00:28:56,000 --> 00:20:48,000 seafloor off the coast. 307 00:20:48,000 --> 00:17:13,000 There were often see Astra meant ships from getting in and so what 308 00:17:53,000 --> 00:32:06,000 we've been able to do is to map out the shape of bedrock beneath 309 00:16:47,000 --> 00:25:01,000 this floating terminus of both the problem crisis around a 310 00:26:31,000 --> 00:30:05,000 neighboring ourself called the Moscow University herself and the 311 00:30:05,000 --> 00:23:19,000 most serious finding is that there are some deepwater channel that 312 00:27:09,000 --> 00:17:44,000 me open ocean to the charity and this includes a previously 313 00:20:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000 completely unknown Persia logical pathway. 314 00:27:36,000 --> 00:21:28,000 If you like another channel, 315 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000 it increases the prospect that what war can circulate into this 316 00:21:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000 cavity and maybe if the temperature of the water changes then the 317 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:22,000 melting which is already quite extensive and therefore the 318 00:25:22,000 --> 00:19:44,000 dynamics of the system will change. 319 00:32:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000 And if you know the story ideas or thoughts on something you've 320 00:29:27,000 --> 00:17:43,000 heard contacted us can radio an equal shot of Darfur and that's 321 00:19:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000 radio equal shot and orgy. 322 00:16:57,000 --> 00:19:29,000 West you were list. 323 00:20:49,000 --> 00:29:12,000 Going to Radio Eco shock I'm Alex Smith with Australian scientist 324 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:24,000 Rulon C Warner Rowland, 325 00:29:24,000 --> 00:18:08,000 can we expect any measurable sea level rise from the Tartan 326 00:19:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000 glacier complex say in this century. 327 00:23:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000 Yes we can in we're already seeing some small contribution to sea 328 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:30,000 level rise and I'm not sure of that anybody's total all I have. 329 00:29:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Because the of us you know crisis dream that forms the life here 330 00:24:36,000 --> 00:21:07,000 is actually. 331 00:21:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Getting thinner near the coast in fact surface there has been in 332 00:28:31,000 --> 00:25:13,000 recent years and have a few years, 333 00:25:13,000 --> 00:33:13,000 they said. 334 00:33:13,000 --> 00:17:48,000 It's been dropping by maybe Vermeer and a half per year. 335 00:17:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000 So this is in fact innocent parties, 336 00:30:49,000 --> 00:21:45,000 one of the hot spots where they definitely ice loss in terms of 337 00:21:45,000 --> 00:29:27,000 what will happen in the rest of the century. 338 00:29:27,000 --> 00:24:33,000 We now know that it's possible to get water in there and dynamics 339 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:07,000 of the top of the person says that this already some considerable 340 00:26:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000 melting going on there. 341 00:31:09,000 --> 00:19:25,000 We don't really know in detail how future climate high increase 342 00:21:15,000 --> 00:22:41,000 that supply and what the consequent transmission of that affect 343 00:34:21,000 --> 00:28:53,000 but level rise would be, 344 00:28:53,000 --> 00:21:26,000 but it's certainly anything parking. 345 00:21:26,000 --> 00:32:10,000 It's the place to wants went the timescale is centuries all of 346 00:18:11,000 --> 00:26:43,000 with a little more we don't quite know them, 347 00:26:43,000 --> 00:25:06,000 but if you people are taking this very seriously. 348 00:25:06,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Harris, 349 00:29:46,000 --> 00:21:29,000 perhaps in the fantastic haunts. 350 00:29:20,000 --> 00:27:53,000 To spend a lot of talk between scientists about the importance of 351 00:27:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000 the grounding line, 352 00:30:54,000 --> 00:21:15,000 what is that. 353 00:25:16,000 --> 00:31:56,000 Yes. 354 00:31:56,000 --> 00:26:50,000 The Grammy moments probably really more bizarre and it is winnable 355 00:27:40,000 --> 00:24:55,000 and Gracie actually starts to to go afloat whenever we just a 356 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:06,000 scuffle what event. 357 00:24:06,000 --> 00:26:41,000 I think that I think to be really on the sea floor and as its 358 00:27:11,000 --> 00:24:35,000 forces towards the Mars and eventually there comes a point where 359 00:21:06,000 --> 00:33:38,000 it simply going to go off white given direction of life. 360 00:33:38,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Well, 361 00:21:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000 it probably would be better if it was called the underground 362 00:32:02,000 --> 00:28:43,000 entwined. 363 00:28:43,000 --> 00:23:25,000 One of the flotation line, 364 00:23:25,000 --> 00:32:18,000 it's important because it's the place where suddenly the base of 365 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:43,000 the ice sheet is not protected by by being on the ground and 366 00:35:23,000 --> 00:29:38,000 suddenly the possibility of wish and driven melting the UMP 367 00:33:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000 commences and I should say that it's again something we've only 368 00:25:52,000 --> 00:35:46,000 learned in the last 2 decades that near these crowning line 369 00:20:47,000 --> 00:26:41,000 somewhere often the ice is very deep here in Miami Tottenham we're 370 00:27:31,000 --> 00:29:55,000 talking about a transition point that's probably a mile below sea 371 00:29:55,000 --> 00:28:06,000 level. 372 00:28:06,000 --> 00:23:21,000 The the the melting even is grounding aren't these 10s of meters 373 00:24:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000 year maybe 15 years here. 374 00:32:44,000 --> 00:31:17,000 And given that the water was doing that and they'll think it still 375 00:31:17,000 --> 00:27:12,000 by by any swimmers stand I'm very close to freezing. 376 00:27:12,000 --> 00:32:46,000 It's likely that this is an extremely thing to be part of of the 377 00:32:46,000 --> 00:20:58,000 climate system. 378 00:20:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000 So that's the first thing that's important about the grounding. 379 00:25:01,000 --> 00:27:44,000 On the second thing that's important is this, 380 00:27:44,000 --> 00:23:19,000 particularly in some configurations of the bedrock these grounding 381 00:23:19,000 --> 00:30:00,000 lines themselves my move. 382 00:30:00,000 --> 00:25:54,000 So it's not just a matter of bringing more iced up to her. 383 00:25:54,000 --> 00:32:47,000 You know my fixed gaze and then having to follow through their and 384 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:31,000 and and they'll it's not possible that the grounding itself will 385 00:33:31,000 --> 00:27:05,000 migrate inland reducing the 5 on the ground and the high street 386 00:20:36,000 --> 00:28:30,000 and transmitting these changes in the forces of the even further 387 00:29:50,000 --> 00:20:21,000 upstream. 388 00:22:02,000 --> 00:29:13,000 We'll sea level rises. 389 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:36,000 The real wildcard when we think about the impact of Antarctic 390 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:49,000 melting I've just gone through a paper by lead author Fernando 391 00:35:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Apollo titled volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is 392 00:25:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000 accelerating. 393 00:30:45,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Is it just the ice shelves or is ice loss from Antarctica 394 00:29:39,000 --> 00:23:02,000 increasing and at a faster rate. 395 00:23:02,000 --> 00:33:22,000 Do we know. 396 00:34:23,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Yeah, 397 00:25:44,000 --> 00:22:06,000 I do this comes back to that. 398 00:22:06,000 --> 00:36:56,000 The point we were. 399 00:22:57,000 --> 00:35:20,000 This guy thing you know you know that these guys have done a great 400 00:36:30,000 --> 00:22:14,000 job in trying to improve our understanding about what's happening 401 00:22:14,000 --> 00:31:28,000 to ice shelves previously we had quite good measurements swimmer 402 00:21:59,000 --> 00:36:22,000 quite precise either of you sort of that was flying in space for a 403 00:37:02,000 --> 00:36:16,000 few years showing that these ice shelves of getting home and I'm 404 00:28:57,000 --> 00:24:22,000 really hard problem because given look I shelf it's floating. 405 00:24:22,000 --> 00:21:16,000 If you see half a meter change in the surface height of the 406 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:10,000 fighting are so often means that he lost 5 meters ice from the 407 00:22:10,000 --> 00:31:02,000 wire what they've done here, 408 00:31:02,000 --> 00:21:23,000 he said. 409 00:21:23,000 --> 00:37:47,000 While at 5-year record is is rather short and some of the longest 410 00:37:47,000 --> 00:23:00,000 recall that's available actually heavenly. 411 00:23:00,000 --> 00:31:34,000 And I think he is from some writer satellites that were measuring 412 00:33:24,000 --> 00:34:59,000 the height and ice shelves and so they've been able to conclude 413 00:36:49,000 --> 00:26:15,000 that ice shelves are certainly on the whole it so they're losing 414 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:59,000 which is actually slightly fresh link the Antarctic coastal 415 00:29:09,000 --> 00:22:32,000 erosion but because beginning Feb. 416 00:22:32,000 --> 00:35:46,000 They are also likely reducing this restraining force they have on 417 00:35:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000 the high street and in fact they are when they see the biggest 418 00:35:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 changes in West Antarctica, 419 00:30:41,000 --> 00:24:25,000 in those places where there out like have been observed to be 420 00:26:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000 speeding up, 421 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:02,000 so it's only important and it's important in terms of what we, 422 00:28:02,000 --> 00:25:57,000 what we think is one of the controllers of Chinese in the ICC and 423 00:33:37,000 --> 00:22:30,000 they level contributions from the itself. 424 00:24:21,000 --> 00:34:12,000 In a comment on that article, 425 00:34:12,000 --> 00:26:05,000 one of the scientists Lori pad been expressed. 426 00:26:05,000 --> 00:22:28,000 There's a lot of uncertainty about what will happen on Antarctica 427 00:26:18,000 --> 00:32:09,000 as the world climate changes. 428 00:32:09,000 --> 00:38:49,000 In fact, 429 00:38:49,000 --> 00:28:30,000 he said. 430 00:28:30,000 --> 00:38:03,000 Quote it is plausible that even if the Earth's average temperature 431 00:38:03,000 --> 00:33:47,000 increases effect on ocean currents around Antarctica might 432 00:33:47,000 --> 00:34:01,000 actually work against Antarctic ice sheet melting and he goes on 433 00:34:01,000 --> 00:35:25,000 to say that that past a records may not tell us a lot because 434 00:24:06,000 --> 00:28:19,000 we're changing the climate so fast compared to what happened in 435 00:28:19,000 --> 00:34:11,000 past times what do you think about all that. 436 00:38:22,000 --> 00:25:43,000 Well, 437 00:25:43,000 --> 00:28:54,000 it's true that one, 438 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:28,000 one has to be careful about he was financial planners tell you 439 00:29:58,000 --> 00:28:12,000 part the performance is guaranteed a future performance, 440 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:45,000 but with changing the composition of the atmosphere, 441 00:28:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000 and so he's corrective driver for changing climate is no longer be 442 00:39:00,000 --> 00:25:15,000 the Milinkevich the so called ice age cycle I do those changes 443 00:26:05,000 --> 00:25:49,000 were pretty dramatic in terms of sea level rise 20,000 years ago 444 00:26:49,000 --> 00:38:12,000 when was great Hemisphere ice sheets and decayed but certainly 445 00:23:33,000 --> 00:27:17,000 we're forcing system a lot faster around them any natural forcing 446 00:27:17,000 --> 00:25:32,000 that's these apply I'd be a little surprised if it was actually 447 00:25:32,000 --> 00:28:06,000 going to have to work against I see my thing on the whole the deep 448 00:28:06,000 --> 00:34:36,000 ocean, 449 00:34:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000 he's already warming and you've only got to warm water a little 450 00:31:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000 bit for it to carry a lot of heat campaign turns away he can be 451 00:33:34,000 --> 00:30:58,000 carried by changes in air temperature. 452 00:30:58,000 --> 00:39:13,000 So I think that the changing dynamic response is going to be quite 453 00:39:13,000 --> 00:30:37,000 high and that's so hard to see who we can avoid conveying that 454 00:32:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000 don't want to really high shelves and then by weakening ourselves 455 00:26:22,000 --> 00:38:34,000 increase some nice discharge from Antarctica. 456 00:38:34,000 --> 00:25:17,000 It's only warmer air temperatures will generate some higher 457 00:28:27,000 --> 00:31:11,000 snowfall that it's not really clear that that can dominate the 458 00:32:31,000 --> 00:33:04,000 sort of exhilaration the life and we've already seen. 459 00:29:05,000 --> 00:28:38,000 And Lori tab and also talked about the irony that sea levels 460 00:28:38,000 --> 00:27:12,000 around Antarctica and Greenland may actually go down as the 461 00:27:12,000 --> 00:24:33,000 glaciers melt. 462 00:24:33,000 --> 00:26:14,000 How is that possible. 463 00:29:05,000 --> 00:33:25,000 You know, 464 00:33:25,000 --> 00:39:55,000 this is, 465 00:39:55,000 --> 00:30:29,000 this is quite amazing it another one of these obvious in hindsight 466 00:33:39,000 --> 00:25:14,000 inside it's looking pretty recently insightful from both us anyway 467 00:25:14,000 --> 00:40:07,000 . Any sort of water surface Rep Of in fact commonsense idea of 468 00:24:58,000 --> 00:33:21,000 level since obviously water flows downhill. 469 00:33:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000 In fact the FTSE service mission with precision from space shows 470 00:34:35,000 --> 00:36:57,000 that that idea down here only. 471 00:37:37,000 --> 00:35:11,000 Modulated by all sorts of things like currents and winds of other 472 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:22,000 factors. 473 00:37:22,000 --> 00:32:56,000 And in particular the vast method ice on these grounds. 474 00:32:56,000 --> 00:40:09,000 That's a sufficient gravitational attraction to pull the ocean 475 00:31:40,000 --> 00:39:01,000 around them towards them. 476 00:39:01,000 --> 00:28:45,000 And this generates an an up slope in. 477 00:28:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000 He is the sea surface around the ice sheets and so it work, 478 00:30:49,000 --> 00:41:23,000 what if you're losing what sort of advice billions of tons a life 479 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:38,000 in that reduces its attraction and a bit of a surprise intuition 480 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000 and nearby streets. 481 00:34:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000 This comes out why the overall effect that you put that all into 482 00:41:02,000 --> 00:25:55,000 the global 3 level, 483 00:25:55,000 --> 00:39:08,000 but in fact merely hosting the 3 level with pregnant fall 484 00:41:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 considerably more and in fact, 485 00:27:11,000 --> 00:32:34,000 they've only been a few idealized computer simulations trying to 486 00:32:34,000 --> 00:27:25,000 put this in. 487 00:27:25,000 --> 00:32:49,000 I think you into countenance does provide a little bit of a 488 00:40:59,000 --> 00:35:44,000 stabilizer to to grabbing line retreat if 3 we will media actually 489 00:36:44,000 --> 00:41:36,000 doing a relic later is falling. 490 00:41:36,000 --> 00:36:30,000 I should just say there's the bad news consequence of local effect 491 00:36:30,000 --> 00:39:03,000 which it means that those who level rises more than you might have 492 00:39:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000 expected far away from you know I think there are some estimates 493 00:30:58,000 --> 00:41:59,000 that in North America, 494 00:41:59,000 --> 00:36:44,000 you might get 25% more than global average the level but when 495 00:32:25,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Northwest. 496 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000 But what will have to go somewhere. 497 00:41:07,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Right now, 498 00:37:38,000 --> 00:38:31,000 some scientists including the Intergovernmental Panel on climate 499 00:40:01,000 --> 00:33:26,000 change suggest total sea level rise by 2100 may only be one meter 500 00:39:56,000 --> 00:30:19,000 others think that's a very conservative estimate, 501 00:30:19,000 --> 00:42:32,000 we might get that much from Antarctic melting alone plus what 502 00:26:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000 comes from the Arctic Roland Warren. 503 00:41:44,000 --> 00:38:25,000 What do you think. 504 00:32:56,000 --> 00:38:56,000 Yeah, 505 00:38:56,000 --> 00:26:53,000 it is you know finally unforgiving question the contribution, 506 00:26:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000 particularly from Antarctic ever trauma. 507 00:33:55,000 --> 00:41:05,000 I see. 508 00:42:25,000 --> 00:39:21,000 In general terms and global sea level rise the IPCC is as you say 509 00:39:21,000 --> 00:41:34,000 , coming up with numbers of the regardless comforted by also have 510 00:41:54,000 --> 00:32:35,000 to come up. 511 00:32:35,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Of course with what they think might happen under a whole range of 512 00:27:29,000 --> 00:34:13,000 of efforts and because of the immense scrutiny. 513 00:34:13,000 --> 00:38:59,000 The IPCC hands they do put a lot of effort into qualifying. 514 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:24,000 What they mean by being uncertain about something and you know you 515 00:39:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000 can go and look at their tables and if they say very likely there 516 00:27:58,000 --> 00:32:42,000 meant he was such a such a probability percentage but when it came 517 00:34:52,000 --> 00:40:27,000 to Antarctica they they finally had to give up on that, 518 00:40:27,000 --> 00:33:12,000 and while I think that everybody collapse of these so called 519 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000 marine sectors of Antarctic ice sheet if initiated could make fee 520 00:35:17,000 --> 00:27:52,000 level rise substantially above the unlikely range the best they 521 00:27:52,000 --> 00:35:35,000 could do was say this additional contribution would not exceed 522 00:39:45,000 --> 00:30:32,000 several tents ultimately tire during the 21st century now for be 523 00:31:52,000 --> 00:27:47,000 over weapons from listen carefully calibrated on for me in terms 524 00:28:27,000 --> 00:31:37,000 of, 525 00:31:37,000 --> 00:34:11,000 you know several tenths of a meter cover the everywhere from you 526 00:34:11,000 --> 00:35:24,000 know 20cm to the best part of a meter. 527 00:35:24,000 --> 00:37:40,000 So this really is the most uncertain contribution towards her long 528 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:13,000 term 3 level prediction things like a federal expansion of the 529 00:37:43,000 --> 00:39:26,000 ocean pretty well on the controlling terms, 530 00:39:26,000 --> 00:42:36,000 you know, 531 00:42:36,000 --> 00:35:50,000 I think that for various different climate warming scenario now 532 00:38:10,000 --> 00:29:54,000 graces of often fairly hard to do at least and I thought we were 533 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:58,000 of the worst that can happen is they might eventually old me on, 534 00:31:58,000 --> 00:36:28,000 you know, 535 00:36:28,000 --> 00:44:42,000 one of that sort of analysis to Antarctica on Greenland. 536 00:44:42,000 --> 00:35:35,000 So we got a useful worst case scenario, 537 00:35:35,000 --> 00:29:30,000 because it tells you something like 60 millions feeling harassed, 538 00:29:30,000 --> 00:44:22,000 which is certainly not going to happen any time soon, 539 00:44:22,000 --> 00:31:46,000 but it's also not a useful you know in member. 540 00:36:27,000 --> 00:28:58,000 Because, 541 00:28:58,000 --> 00:34:18,000 really, 542 00:34:18,000 --> 00:36:42,000 it's so shocking if would rearrange civilization altogether if we 543 00:36:42,000 --> 00:33:04,000 eventually get that much but as you say, 544 00:33:04,000 --> 00:31:36,000 we're talking at least in centuries. 545 00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:14,000 You're listening to shock radio before the world and. 546 00:41:24,000 --> 00:37:48,000 I'm Alex Smith get all their website shock.org. 547 00:40:01,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Don't forget, 548 00:32:52,000 --> 00:45:05,000 or a hot interview with proper garden wizard Marjorie Wilde is 549 00:45:05,000 --> 00:40:16,000 still to come. 550 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:21,000 This is Radio Eco shock were talking with Australian Antarctic 551 00:39:41,000 --> 00:32:05,000 expert Dr. Roland Warner another complication difficult for 552 00:32:55,000 --> 00:30:28,000 non-scientist Dr. awarded to understand is the prediction that 553 00:31:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000 snowfall on Antarctica may actually increase with climate change. 554 00:35:12,000 --> 00:36:55,000 And even that may help speed glacier movement to the sea. 555 00:36:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000 Can you talk to us about that please. 556 00:29:48,000 --> 00:35:58,000 Yes, 557 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:21,000 I think we certainly expect that the most think is not yet 558 00:38:01,000 --> 00:34:55,000 receiving the sort of squandering warming that's been so dramatic 559 00:36:15,000 --> 00:33:37,000 in the Antarctic Peninsula. 560 00:33:37,000 --> 00:45:30,000 And that may be partly due to slowly fighting other thing. 561 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000 From the of these on hold in Antarctica, 562 00:33:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000 which has tended to have an influence on on Antarctic climate but 563 00:29:49,000 --> 00:45:40,000 if the it image arises. 564 00:45:40,000 --> 00:35:23,000 It's still going to be very cold, 565 00:35:23,000 --> 00:39:57,000 but clearly warmer air can hold more moisture and everybody does 566 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 expect that that's not fault when Antarctica. 567 00:39:00,000 --> 00:41:15,000 We will increase and part seems studies that suggest that that 568 00:38:46,000 --> 00:35:21,000 itself accelerates the 4 out of the ocean. 569 00:35:21,000 --> 00:44:45,000 I think that 30 increased melting of ourselves. 570 00:44:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000 It is likely to be enough. 571 00:33:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000 I'm eager think in that some of the studies the need. 572 00:35:52,000 --> 00:41:22,000 You know it. 573 00:41:22,000 --> 00:37:26,000 20 years ago so that you know if you think it's going to take out 574 00:39:16,000 --> 00:30:51,000 a thousand years to establish some new equilibrium then with do 575 00:30:51,000 --> 00:38:25,000 you get 2 meters or 3 meters of sea level rise from Antarctica 576 00:33:56,000 --> 00:41:49,000 would depend on whether you had factored in this compensating 577 00:45:19,000 --> 00:33:33,000 effect on of high rates of snowfall in Antarctica, 578 00:33:33,000 --> 00:38:45,000 because obviously so far the Antarctic, 579 00:38:45,000 --> 00:43:19,000 there is really nothing putting feel right away in the bank and it 580 00:45:29,000 --> 00:44:03,000 can take understood however that you start to flow back so it's 581 00:45:23,000 --> 00:35:46,000 certainly an important compensating effect, 582 00:35:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000 but I think the Democratic response really driven by the ocean is 583 00:34:20,000 --> 00:40:54,000 going to be that the biggest influence on Antarctic trying. 584 00:31:45,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Right. 585 00:36:25,000 --> 00:33:57,000 It's hard for people to understand that it's, 586 00:33:57,000 --> 00:31:20,000 it's not that the warming air temperatures going to melt he sings 587 00:31:20,000 --> 00:46:20,000 from above, 588 00:46:20,000 --> 00:41:14,000 it's at the hotter ocean reaching in is going to weaken them from 589 00:43:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000 below, 590 00:31:25,000 --> 00:39:35,000 isn't it. 591 00:39:35,000 --> 00:47:45,000 The story. 592 00:44:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000 That's certainly what we're seeing, 593 00:36:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000 particularly because some of the areas further but changing the 594 00:39:31,000 --> 00:44:15,000 most practically at the moment in the area of of Antarctica and so 595 00:44:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000 on in the Pacific Ocean, 596 00:37:17,000 --> 00:33:08,000 in the, 597 00:33:08,000 --> 00:40:42,000 on the I'm this is almost about as far south as you can actually 598 00:41:42,000 --> 00:48:02,000 find was. 599 00:37:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000 Before you actually bumping into Antarctica and you know it's 600 00:40:06,000 --> 00:44:57,000 there with it. 601 00:44:57,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Temperatures are still well although for you think that that we're 602 00:42:21,000 --> 00:36:14,000 seeing these these biggest changes and it is one of the places 603 00:36:14,000 --> 00:34:29,000 where we know that when the warm ocean currents circulate normally 604 00:35:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000 at some distance around Antarctica do manage, 605 00:34:32,000 --> 00:48:05,000 but by virtue of currents and the topography of them Continental 606 00:33:06,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Shelf, 607 00:37:46,000 --> 00:42:10,000 the new mines to come into all the here and certainly here so that 608 00:42:50,000 --> 00:45:40,000 the, 609 00:45:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000 the power of our ocean water. 610 00:33:43,000 --> 00:38:33,000 Well, 611 00:38:33,000 --> 00:42:23,000 sort of, 612 00:42:23,000 --> 00:45:13,000 that's, 613 00:45:13,000 --> 00:46:14,000 you know the risk for me, 614 00:46:14,000 --> 00:33:59,000 the effect all of warmer air temperature at least in the more 615 00:33:59,000 --> 00:41:54,000 northerly parts of Antarctica where temperature and from a mill 616 00:43:04,000 --> 00:32:59,000 things on the surface of these ice shelves is actually certainly 617 00:36:19,000 --> 00:34:44,000 playing a big role in the rather dramatic disintegration over the 618 00:34:44,000 --> 00:44:07,000 matter of a few weeks of a few ourselves in the Antarctic 619 00:45:37,000 --> 00:39:48,000 Peninsula. 620 00:39:48,000 --> 00:38:29,000 Back on them. 621 00:38:29,000 --> 00:43:40,000 I mean last century. 622 00:46:51,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Well, 623 00:34:02,000 --> 00:42:45,000 all along we've talked about West Antarctica and East Antarctica 624 00:42:45,000 --> 00:41:58,000 as though they were almost separate parts of the puzzle. 625 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:41,000 Are there any generalizations you can give us about what is 626 00:41:41,000 --> 00:43:04,000 happening in these 2 halves compared to each other. 627 00:37:35,000 --> 00:33:06,000 Yeah, 628 00:33:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000 it's interesting that in some ways and they they do fit being 629 00:43:39,000 --> 00:39:23,000 described as if they were 2 different worlds, 630 00:39:23,000 --> 00:41:07,000 the observational evidence we have fallen further Oval Office the 631 00:45:37,000 --> 00:41:11,000 Heisman tactics because we can actually directly made the 632 00:43:41,000 --> 00:35:57,000 disappearance of ice from space either by seeing the change in the 633 00:41:27,000 --> 00:35:59,000 fall of the ice surface, 634 00:35:59,000 --> 00:33:33,000 telling us that the eye soothing cinnamon falling off or by 635 00:33:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000 actually worryingly the from space. 636 00:39:35,000 --> 00:49:49,000 We can tell that within topic is where currently mostly action is 637 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:02,000 overall it is Antarctica, 638 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:35,000 very little change may be some slight overall increase, 639 00:39:35,000 --> 00:38:59,000 although this area around the Tottenham place is one of the hot 640 00:38:59,000 --> 00:42:59,000 spot. 641 00:47:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000 Fantastic areas that's the place with his most consistent I floss 642 00:40:53,000 --> 00:34:54,000 going on there, 643 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:48,000 which is what the reasons we have interested but so in terms of 644 00:37:08,000 --> 00:46:39,000 the current response. 645 00:46:39,000 --> 00:35:32,000 This seems to be 2 separate worlds. 646 00:35:32,000 --> 00:46:52,000 However, 647 00:46:52,000 --> 00:39:23,000 what we, 648 00:39:23,000 --> 00:50:16,000 realizing as we discussed earlier is these parts of East 649 00:34:27,000 --> 00:38:51,000 Antarctica in terms of this very deep bedrock well below sea level 650 00:37:42,000 --> 00:43:16,000 channels can anything that out towards the new some of that is a 651 00:44:36,000 --> 00:40:11,000 lot more like West Antarctica in terms of its setting people 652 00:43:21,000 --> 00:35:16,000 previously thought they could well be that it's simply a matter of 653 00:41:46,000 --> 00:48:30,000 the response of the forcing and perhaps in East Antarctica in the 654 00:48:30,000 --> 00:38:51,000 future, 655 00:38:51,000 --> 00:44:25,000 we might see phenomenal wing of recognize from what we presently 3 656 00:47:35,000 --> 00:44:06,000 West Antarctica. 657 00:42:27,000 --> 00:41:01,000 Dr. Warner are we able to say whether in total Antarctica is 658 00:41:01,000 --> 00:36:35,000 losing mass staying the same or gaining ice mass. 659 00:45:45,000 --> 00:35:16,000 Yeah, 660 00:35:16,000 --> 00:34:30,000 it's very clearly losing harness and there's pretty good evidence 661 00:38:10,000 --> 00:50:23,000 for that rate of losses XL or anything that comes from the direct 662 00:34:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000 observation for growing putting the icing on on the sky often 663 00:48:48,000 --> 00:37:33,000 turning you know you're so that will often with Antarctic it 664 00:40:13,000 --> 00:37:07,000 without weighing flight increases a whole stability in East 665 00:37:07,000 --> 00:44:38,000 Antarctica. 666 00:44:38,000 --> 00:51:21,000 The experts think that in maybe another year of observations will 667 00:36:52,000 --> 00:45:36,000 be in a better position to sort out influence in that process of 668 00:37:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000 seasonal variations, 669 00:38:18,000 --> 00:45:38,000 if you like, 670 00:45:38,000 --> 00:43:20,000 particularly in snowfall, 671 00:43:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000 it's quite impressive. 672 00:44:21,000 --> 00:37:03,000 The talking from space. 673 00:37:03,000 --> 00:43:16,000 You can actually seeing this actually isn't very much is at the 674 00:44:06,000 --> 00:35:19,000 scene Greenland in Antarctica, 675 00:35:19,000 --> 00:43:32,000 but you can actually seeing Greenland the seasonal arrival of the 676 00:44:22,000 --> 00:47:35,000 big dumps of snow that come in the winter and the great a loss of 677 00:45:56,000 --> 00:43:47,000 over the summer, 678 00:43:47,000 --> 00:46:30,000 I mean it's actually that their annual cycle quite visible, 679 00:46:30,000 --> 00:44:53,000 you know if I think there is things are not quite clear because 680 00:51:53,000 --> 00:49:17,000 things are happening on Holmgren Earth's lower scale, 681 00:49:17,000 --> 00:42:11,000 but people I convinced that you know cutting observations longer 682 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,000 will allow us through to sort out trends without the confusion of 683 00:39:57,000 --> 00:38:28,000 these variations. 684 00:50:08,000 --> 00:36:29,000 Well, 685 00:36:29,000 --> 00:43:22,000 the key question was sea level rises always when and we discussed 686 00:43:22,000 --> 00:40:33,000 this a little bit, 687 00:40:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000 but do we have enough science yet to really know how much 688 00:38:07,000 --> 00:48:50,000 Antarctica will add to the world's oceans during this century. 689 00:37:12,000 --> 00:40:12,000 No, 690 00:40:12,000 --> 00:47:32,000 we don't, 691 00:47:32,000 --> 00:46:17,000 it's actually 2 biggest unknown in trying to predict what sea 692 00:47:47,000 --> 00:43:02,000 level to expect and in fact the IPCC felt they couldn't even give 693 00:43:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000 you an opinion about how much of the response might vary according 694 00:41:06,000 --> 00:45:10,000 to what for the phone global warming practical trajectory we we 695 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:31,000 found ourselves on. 696 00:45:31,000 --> 00:50:52,000 So it's, 697 00:50:52,000 --> 00:45:05,000 it's quite serious on their own and the other thing about and how 698 00:45:05,000 --> 00:48:00,000 to his that is a lot of life there we finally passed on the fact 699 00:49:10,000 --> 00:51:05,000 that I see is sitting on this this well below sea level rock. 700 00:51:05,000 --> 00:39:10,000 One of the other complications several areas west Antarctica is 701 00:40:40,000 --> 00:49:01,000 for the paradigm for this. 702 00:49:01,000 --> 00:37:45,000 I guess the better just get a deeper and deeper and deeper as you 703 00:37:45,000 --> 00:38:09,000 go towards the interior of the ice sheet and so there is a 704 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:40,000 possibility. 705 00:38:40,000 --> 00:42:34,000 And in fact this part of the marine instability there is a 706 00:42:34,000 --> 00:37:58,000 prospect of if the grounding line is starting to move inland it'll 707 00:40:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000 just keep on going and it will continue to retrieve and you 708 00:42:22,000 --> 00:44:16,000 continue to lose a life until you finally managed to heavy rice 709 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:40,000 sheep catch itself on some bedrock features and so on the state of 710 00:45:40,000 --> 00:47:52,000 Alaska have retreat process. 711 00:47:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000 So what sort of year they were centuries. 712 00:42:55,000 --> 00:48:40,000 This is rather uncertain and the prospect is good you can keep on 713 00:50:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000 giving and they could keep on giving even if we stabilize the 714 00:47:44,000 --> 00:48:36,000 world in some warmer started. 715 00:46:07,000 --> 00:47:21,000 Yes I think NASA so came out and said that the process is 716 00:47:21,000 --> 00:43:52,000 unstoppable. 717 00:38:53,000 --> 00:50:54,000 Yes the, 718 00:50:54,000 --> 00:42:35,000 the, 719 00:42:35,000 --> 00:45:48,000 and I think what's happening in this I'm I'm simply region with a 720 00:45:48,000 --> 00:39:13,000 couple of them being places they like white guys here is they feel 721 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,000 they've done enough on bedrock profiling there again using his 722 00:41:17,000 --> 00:40:31,000 high penetrating radar system to say they can't see any obvious. 723 00:44:01,000 --> 00:48:14,000 Neil anchor points that would stop further retreat, 724 00:48:14,000 --> 00:50:29,000 but has currently started so when the IPCC said market get more 725 00:51:59,000 --> 00:38:54,000 civil rights and we can't really quantify it if we start to 726 00:38:54,000 --> 00:53:28,000 initiate the citizenry nicely collapse it. 727 00:53:28,000 --> 00:52:41,000 It's possible always seeing the first stages and already. 728 00:54:32,000 --> 00:43:46,000 Please tell us about a couple of projects the Antarctic climate 729 00:43:46,000 --> 00:50:19,000 and ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre has on the go. 730 00:41:10,000 --> 00:42:22,000 Right will be that we just had, 731 00:42:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000 I think the renewed last year so we there so that they'll stall 732 00:43:57,000 --> 00:45:22,000 with what we think of the most pressing issues even part of the 733 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:37,000 ecosystem area and so we have a major overarching projects on this 734 00:48:37,000 --> 00:41:01,000 ocean driven election of the Antarctic ice and Billy always 735 00:42:11,000 --> 00:47:41,000 matters. 736 00:47:41,000 --> 00:54:13,000 We've been talking about tonight. 737 00:54:13,000 --> 00:49:38,000 You know activities range from voyages with we had a voyage where 738 00:50:28,000 --> 00:42:49,000 they are right, 739 00:42:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000 that is ice breaker to the front of the Tottenham away if you know 740 00:45:52,000 --> 00:47:57,000 , and just this time January where they did actually verify the 741 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:31,000 first time anybody's got this for the coming crop of Tottenham. 742 00:47:31,000 --> 00:52:21,000 If I. 743 00:50:23,000 --> 00:42:18,000 Pack I just 5 permanent captain was brave enough to try only and 744 00:42:58,000 --> 00:53:51,000 get some maintenance and so we do know that the warm water is 745 00:53:51,000 --> 00:49:25,000 actually arriving there at the front of the charity and with this 746 00:49:25,000 --> 00:48:58,000 work at just being published. 747 00:48:58,000 --> 00:53:18,000 Well, 748 00:53:18,000 --> 00:54:10,000 I should say time Damon Green down from them. 749 00:54:10,000 --> 00:41:05,000 University of Texas in Austin we now think that we can the 750 00:46:15,000 --> 00:39:49,000 channels by which water is gonna make its way onto the ice. 751 00:39:49,000 --> 00:43:29,000 So, 752 00:43:29,000 --> 00:55:02,000 the problem remains a major interest for us, 753 00:55:02,000 --> 00:41:38,000 we've already been doing most circulation more studies to try and 754 00:41:38,000 --> 00:52:11,000 explore how the ocean circulation moves underneath my shelves and 755 00:52:11,000 --> 00:40:16,000 also how the resulting water affects the external, 756 00:40:16,000 --> 00:45:30,000 and now that we've gone an improved picture of what the state 757 00:47:40,000 --> 00:50:31,000 underneath the problem looks like, 758 00:50:31,000 --> 00:56:15,000 but will be going back dramas again and the big step forward is to 759 00:56:15,000 --> 00:48:09,000 start coupling the dynamics of the ice shelves the flow of the 760 00:48:09,000 --> 00:43:03,000 ground and I behind with the ocean because on as if your melting 761 00:53:53,000 --> 00:49:18,000 the bottom of changing geometry of that that changes were talking 762 00:50:08,000 --> 00:52:18,000 with. 763 00:53:48,000 --> 00:43:01,000 You know he arrives and what was living in, 764 00:43:01,000 --> 00:41:44,000 we need to topple assistance together eventually that will become 765 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000 part of in times of system model, 766 00:42:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000 we'll be doing more so they work with area geophysical surveys 767 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:37,000 exploring them prices a bedrock and Antarctica we're used to be 768 00:48:37,000 --> 00:53:28,000 that talking on the phone. 769 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000 Part of the whole planet without them person, 770 00:53:30,000 --> 00:43:32,000 which is a the lapels, 771 00:43:32,000 --> 00:50:04,000 and we know what's some of these part of Antarctica. 772 00:50:04,000 --> 00:43:19,000 So that work will be continuing and we've also got film programs 773 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:23,000 homely namely myself this is extent I think biggest ice shelf in 774 00:48:03,000 --> 00:42:57,000 Antarctica is 3rd largest myself and we've had field program there 775 00:43:47,000 --> 00:51:10,000 with oceanographic instruments that were deployed by drilling 776 00:51:10,000 --> 00:45:24,000 through nearly a thousand meters of of ice shelf and appalling 777 00:45:24,000 --> 00:54:57,000 instruments in the ocean underneath enormous find out what's 778 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,000 actually going on in these rather the inaccessible parts of the 779 00:56:40,000 --> 00:44:01,000 planet. 780 00:54:51,000 --> 00:53:13,000 You know what hearing you talk, 781 00:53:13,000 --> 00:44:07,000 it almost sounds like we're trying to discover some things about 782 00:45:47,000 --> 00:53:47,000 Mars. 783 00:53:47,000 --> 00:55:50,000 You know it's a mile deep beneath the ice, 784 00:55:50,000 --> 00:54:02,000 it's very difficult to peer around, 785 00:54:02,000 --> 00:57:12,000 we, 786 00:57:12,000 --> 00:54:54,000 we don't know a lot of things it. 787 00:54:54,000 --> 00:50:17,000 It's amazing that we're finding out as much as we do. 788 00:47:28,000 --> 00:54:08,000 Yeah, 789 00:54:08,000 --> 00:52:09,000 it's. 790 00:52:09,000 --> 00:57:29,000 But we, 791 00:57:29,000 --> 00:46:13,000 we thought that if I cap survey come Casey staging of us and say 792 00:46:13,000 --> 00:57:15,000 we don't have a thousand kilometers long and, 793 00:57:15,000 --> 00:52:38,000 back home on each flight there, 794 00:52:38,000 --> 00:54:19,000 there was an area where they were, 795 00:54:19,000 --> 00:52:25,000 maybe 2 ground based survey the of whole previous 50 years I had 796 00:53:25,000 --> 00:55:09,000 talking exploration and we would gather that stay there in an 797 00:55:09,000 --> 00:44:14,000 8-hour flight and Soviet with further citing it in there were 798 00:45:54,000 --> 00:49:45,000 still a few places, 799 00:49:45,000 --> 00:54:07,000 which we hope to get to where it. 800 00:43:28,000 --> 00:52:21,000 If you were a 15th century make you probably writing here be 801 00:54:11,000 --> 00:52:03,000 dragons vigorous, 802 00:52:03,000 --> 00:46:58,000 we still don't have had detailed bedrock there but sadly the map 803 00:47:38,000 --> 00:50:49,000 is is being filming. 804 00:44:30,000 --> 00:55:21,000 From Hobart Tasmania. 805 00:55:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000 We've been talking with Dr. Roland C Warner he's a researcher with 806 00:47:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000 Australia's Antarctic climate and ecosystems Cooperative Research 807 00:46:29,000 --> 00:54:50,000 Centre Dr. Roland. 808 00:54:50,000 --> 00:53:52,000 Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. 809 00:53:52,000 --> 00:55:43,000 I really appreciate it. 810 00:47:44,000 --> 00:42:55,000 There's been a blatant. 811 00:49:55,000 --> 00:55:37,000 I'm Alex Smith reporting for Radio Eco. 812 00:44:46,000 --> 00:50:59,000 We are back after the online grow your own food summit with the 813 00:50:59,000 --> 00:48:33,000 organizer Marjorie while Kraft Marjorie remind us just once again 814 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:56,000 where you grow your food in the way you operate your homestead 815 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:17,000 experiments. 816 00:54:47,000 --> 00:48:58,000 No, 817 00:48:58,000 --> 00:43:53,000 I actually I wasn't Central Texas and my homestead, 818 00:43:53,000 --> 00:54:53,000 is a resort. 819 00:56:43,000 --> 00:49:08,000 Center dedicated to finding systems and developing systems for you 820 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:21,000 to be able to grow having your own food in a backyard cyberspace 821 00:58:01,000 --> 00:53:44,000 and less than an hour a day pretty tall order. 822 00:53:44,000 --> 00:51:35,000 But we're working on it. 823 00:47:46,000 --> 00:55:26,000 Last week, 824 00:55:26,000 --> 00:56:29,000 you talked about getting her husband and son on board with aqua 825 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,000 panics is it necessary to have everybody in your family on board 826 00:45:04,000 --> 00:56:16,000 with this prep gardening style right from the get-go. 827 00:51:07,000 --> 00:43:18,000 No, 828 00:43:18,000 --> 00:49:48,000 in fact, 829 00:49:48,000 --> 00:54:09,000 I'd say that the vast. 830 00:55:59,000 --> 00:50:03,000 Majority of of people who will consider themselves peppers. 831 00:50:03,000 --> 00:48:37,000 They have a reluctant spouse or reluctant children and so they 832 00:49:37,000 --> 00:48:01,000 just you know go and do what they do anyway with growing your own 833 00:48:01,000 --> 00:58:51,000 food. 834 00:58:51,000 --> 00:44:16,000 What I would recommend is just get started and the family actually 835 00:44:46,000 --> 00:54:07,000 starts to get involved in it, 836 00:54:07,000 --> 00:50:00,000 one of the best ways to get them on board is when you're 837 00:50:20,000 --> 00:59:30,000 harvesting. 838 00:59:30,000 --> 00:58:04,000 That's one of the most delightful times especially with kids I got 839 00:59:24,000 --> 00:52:47,000 I can give you some of the best vegetables to grow for kids. 840 00:52:47,000 --> 00:45:20,000 It'll make can all must be out there in your yard treating it like 841 00:45:20,000 --> 00:46:01,000 a snack bar, 842 00:46:01,000 --> 00:49:11,000 you know, 843 00:49:11,000 --> 00:57:34,000 there's lot cherry tomatoes that grows so well in the summertime. 844 00:57:34,000 --> 00:56:57,000 Those kids will be out there fighting forum and in the cooler 845 00:56:57,000 --> 00:46:42,000 seasons those sugar snap peas are delicious were strawberries. 846 00:46:42,000 --> 00:52:22,000 You know, 847 00:52:22,000 --> 00:53:44,000 if you've got some really tasty food out there. 848 00:53:44,000 --> 00:59:06,000 Those kids will be out there playing with it and that's one way to 849 00:59:06,000 --> 00:53:10,000 get them involved with it without it even being proper saying 850 00:54:40,000 --> 01:00:10,000 grain. 851 00:48:31,000 --> 00:46:24,000 Tell us about your Aqua panic set up what have you done there. 852 00:56:44,000 --> 00:45:55,000 You know, 853 00:45:55,000 --> 00:54:15,000 we, 854 00:54:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000 we've built one and I believe it's like 30 feet long by about 12 855 00:47:00,000 --> 00:50:55,000 feet wide and it has 150 gallon fish tank and you know I had 856 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:48,000 always initially avoided alcoholics because it's a little bit high 857 00:52:48,000 --> 00:50:22,000 tech you know it's going to involve motor motors and pumps and and 858 00:50:52,000 --> 00:46:35,000 and things like that which actually ended up being the attraction 859 00:46:35,000 --> 01:00:47,000 for my husband and my and that's the reason they like it is, 860 01:00:47,000 --> 00:59:09,000 it's kinda hard. 861 00:59:09,000 --> 00:48:02,000 I don't even impressed with those systems. 862 00:48:02,000 --> 00:55:13,000 They do require energy. 863 00:56:33,000 --> 00:48:27,000 You know you're gonna be needing some solar power wind power or 864 00:48:27,000 --> 00:49:50,000 the electrical grid which is another reason we had avoided it 865 00:52:00,000 --> 00:49:33,000 initially we were initially always developing our systems for 866 00:50:03,000 --> 00:46:08,000 Ingrid down or open that sustainability type of situation, 867 00:46:08,000 --> 00:57:29,000 but we ended up going with this, 868 00:57:29,000 --> 00:55:03,000 I I have to say that it is definitely easier to grow food in the 869 00:55:03,000 --> 00:58:34,000 Arc upon access tomorrow. 870 00:58:34,000 --> 00:54:19,000 Our first year of experiments are all that way it does require a 871 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:33,000 little bit more watching for example that pump goes out your fish 872 00:54:33,000 --> 00:45:28,000 only have so long before they're gonna need oxygen and and die so 873 00:46:38,000 --> 00:50:48,000 it, 874 00:50:48,000 --> 00:57:30,000 it does need a little bit more monitoring like that, 875 00:57:30,000 --> 01:01:01,000 but on the other hand, 876 01:01:01,000 --> 01:00:44,000 it really is easier and part of that here in Central Texas it was 877 00:52:25,000 --> 00:51:46,000 protected from the wind. 878 00:51:46,000 --> 00:47:39,000 It was protected from extremes of heat and cold. 879 00:47:39,000 --> 00:49:22,000 You know the plants just grew better the fish created the waste 880 00:50:32,000 --> 00:55:14,000 that will said the plants and and it worked really well, 881 00:55:14,000 --> 00:59:14,000 it's a, 882 00:59:14,000 --> 00:57:45,000 it's a good system. 883 00:51:56,000 --> 00:55:39,000 You know it's canvas often closest Amin away but it is tricky and 884 00:55:39,000 --> 01:01:32,000 technical as you say I I've been avoiding it so far. 885 01:01:32,000 --> 00:46:26,000 Let's talk about perma culture that's another major contender for 886 00:47:56,000 --> 00:53:09,000 truly sustainable agriculture have you experimented with the food 887 00:53:09,000 --> 00:57:10,000 for and by the way, 888 00:57:10,000 --> 01:01:11,000 what is a food for us. 889 01:00:52,000 --> 00:50:16,000 Well I love food for us and I have to say this is my particular 890 00:52:26,000 --> 01:01:16,000 favorite. 891 01:01:56,000 --> 00:51:58,000 Way to grow food. 892 00:51:58,000 --> 01:01:12,000 The idea of a food forces you create an area that mimics nature in 893 01:01:12,000 --> 00:57:26,000 that you plant trees and bushes and vines and honorable way errors 894 00:57:26,000 --> 00:55:21,000 and every plant in there is edible or medicine or beneficial in 895 00:56:21,000 --> 01:01:13,000 some way and if you look at the forest. 896 01:01:13,000 --> 00:59:07,000 A 4th does not need any tending right you go to a pristine forest 897 01:00:37,000 --> 00:55:08,000 and the trees, 898 00:55:08,000 --> 01:01:41,000 there they drop their leaves their self marching you know they 899 01:02:21,000 --> 00:51:34,000 they've learned how to manage the water that comes to them. 900 00:51:34,000 --> 00:54:47,000 Naturally they don't need to be irrigated and they often you know 901 00:55:57,000 --> 00:50:20,000 there's still some production of food and animals and wildlife 902 00:53:00,000 --> 00:48:31,000 within it. 903 00:48:31,000 --> 00:47:04,000 So what we trying to do is create systems like that and then they 904 00:47:54,000 --> 00:54:27,000 get back and try to maybe had its with a little bit more benefit 905 00:55:47,000 --> 00:57:51,000 toward us there more investment in time getting up and started 906 00:58:41,000 --> 01:02:53,000 because a lot of your fruit and nut trees are not gonna start 907 00:48:04,000 --> 00:49:16,000 producing for 5 to 10 years. 908 00:49:16,000 --> 00:51:20,000 But once you get them established they're much much less work than 909 00:54:00,000 --> 00:51:51,000 annual gardens. 910 01:00:51,000 --> 00:53:45,000 We all know gardening can help seniors maintain their mental and 911 00:55:15,000 --> 00:53:29,000 physical health much longer but eventually we may not be able to 912 00:53:29,000 --> 01:01:50,000 handle the heavy work, 913 01:01:50,000 --> 00:53:14,000 how can we set up a garden to keep going with very little effort. 914 01:02:14,000 --> 00:49:35,000 Well, 915 00:49:35,000 --> 00:57:15,000 that's it. 916 00:57:15,000 --> 00:49:56,000 Exactly, 917 00:49:56,000 --> 00:57:19,000 that's why food Forrester such and it's it's a real retirement 918 00:57:19,000 --> 00:48:20,000 plan, 919 00:48:20,000 --> 00:51:51,000 unlike Social Security, 920 00:51:51,000 --> 00:53:33,000 which we never really know if that's come along. 921 00:53:33,000 --> 00:58:45,000 That's going to be a. 922 00:58:45,000 --> 00:50:19,000 So a real retirement plan is going to be to play at the food for 923 00:52:59,000 --> 00:55:12,000 store to plant a small orchard right now. 924 00:55:12,000 --> 01:00:12,000 Well, 925 01:00:12,000 --> 00:57:06,000 you've got the strength and energy to have that going and then you 926 00:57:06,000 --> 00:59:17,000 know in your later years. 927 00:59:17,000 --> 00:48:01,000 It's a lot easier to just harvest apples and it is to be planting 928 00:59:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000 doing all the work of the annual garden. 929 00:50:24,000 --> 00:56:47,000 Let's talk about prepping for past side built 2 big raised their 930 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:30,000 heads out of some years lumber but I put a wire lying on the 931 00:56:30,000 --> 01:03:43,000 bottom to keep both the morals of seem to love by rich garden soil 932 01:03:43,000 --> 00:49:27,000 . What else can we do to encourage passed to stay out of the 933 00:49:27,000 --> 00:56:27,000 garden. 934 00:50:58,000 --> 00:56:08,000 Well, 935 00:56:08,000 --> 00:53:50,000 one thing is to have a more first. 936 00:58:10,000 --> 00:49:44,000 They have really good rich soil will help reduce your insect 937 00:53:34,000 --> 00:54:56,000 problems for more than golfers. 938 00:54:56,000 --> 01:01:06,000 Personally, 939 01:01:06,000 --> 00:57:49,000 I have a big problem that we have a lot of sand here and I've been 940 00:57:49,000 --> 00:48:24,000 experimenting with using castor beans as a mole repellent and of 941 00:49:14,000 --> 01:00:16,000 and I go forward talent and so far it seems to be working very 942 01:00:16,000 --> 00:53:41,000 well in fact Castro used to be known as as no go for plant. 943 00:53:41,000 --> 01:01:04,000 One of the realities of having beautiful food source like that as 944 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,000 you are going to need to have some fencing or some protection from 945 01:03:47,000 --> 01:01:00,000 everything else that loves to eat your food like raccoons or 946 01:03:00,000 --> 00:52:42,000 squirrels or rabbits. 947 00:52:42,000 --> 01:02:04,000 So a good fence around your garden is just a reality. 948 01:01:05,000 --> 01:03:35,000 Well, 949 01:03:35,000 --> 00:59:49,000 our about 7 feet high and then we dangle little pieces of cloth 950 00:59:49,000 --> 00:48:33,000 and colored foil on the top of that to keep the deer from jumping 951 00:48:33,000 --> 00:52:43,000 in. 952 00:52:43,000 --> 00:51:26,000 But for the rest we always planned a little extra for all the 953 00:51:26,000 --> 00:57:58,000 creatures that are gonna eat out of your garden. 954 00:57:58,000 --> 00:59:59,000 Whether you like it or not. 955 00:49:30,000 --> 00:54:45,000 That's a very good practice we rely very heavily on 2 dogs to do a 956 00:54:45,000 --> 00:51:39,000 large part of the protection from the predators here, 957 00:51:39,000 --> 01:01:51,000 but one of the Dodgers' even really good at spotting overhead 958 01:03:41,000 --> 00:57:05,000 aerial hawks and Barking and letting everybody know when the Hawks 959 00:57:05,000 --> 00:54:59,000 are nearby and I find them invaluable they they work all night 960 01:00:09,000 --> 00:56:41,000 they mostly sleep all day. 961 00:56:41,000 --> 00:48:54,000 I don't see them very much because I give them the butchering 962 00:50:34,000 --> 01:04:06,000 scraps from when we do butchering and then they offered just get 963 01:04:36,000 --> 00:48:48,000 whatever table scraps. 964 00:48:48,000 --> 00:59:00,000 We don't need and then they they find what they can you know the 965 01:00:30,000 --> 00:50:44,000 bigger catcher rabbit here and there, 966 00:50:44,000 --> 01:04:16,000 so they don't really require a lot of input and they do a lot of 967 01:04:16,000 --> 00:53:37,000 work. 968 00:49:58,000 --> 00:55:31,000 When I was doing part time firming in eastern Canada. 969 00:55:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000 The only chemical are used as wrote known it's made from ground-up 970 00:58:44,000 --> 01:00:48,000 roots of a South American plant and Robert rodeo used it I had to 971 01:00:48,000 --> 01:03:31,000 use it for the Colorado potato beetle if you have a big planning a 972 01:03:31,000 --> 00:55:22,000 potatoes. 973 00:55:22,000 --> 01:05:23,000 We had the couple of acres, 974 01:05:23,000 --> 00:53:46,000 there's no way to squash all those bugs by hand. 975 00:53:46,000 --> 00:50:07,000 What do you think. 976 01:03:07,000 --> 00:52:38,000 You know, 977 00:52:38,000 --> 01:00:22,000 that's that's a lot of work to manage a couple of caterer this you 978 01:00:22,000 --> 00:50:36,000 know we all need to be used as much organic processors as possible 979 01:01:06,000 --> 00:53:50,000 the classic thing was something like a couple of acres of potatoes 980 01:03:20,000 --> 00:50:02,000 is to pay the kids. 981 00:50:02,000 --> 01:03:25,000 It used to be a penny bugs and you'd have them go through the rows 982 00:57:06,000 --> 01:05:38,000 and then they dump out bugs in the account and then you pay them 983 01:05:38,000 --> 00:57:42,000 that used to be the he to get rid of the goods but Colorado potato 984 01:00:02,000 --> 01:04:22,000 beetle. 985 01:02:53,000 --> 01:04:06,000 Could still work today if it gets a neighborhood kids going well 986 01:05:16,000 --> 01:00:27,000 last week. 987 01:00:27,000 --> 01:01:50,000 You talked about not needing refrigeration or freezers that we 988 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000 could just munch away through the fresh food season but I have to 989 01:02:43,000 --> 00:54:24,000 admit, 990 00:54:24,000 --> 00:59:17,000 there are times when we got so much food more that we could give 991 00:59:17,000 --> 00:51:41,000 away trade even that we needed to freeze some at least until we 992 00:51:41,000 --> 00:59:54,000 could catch up to our canning and drying I like adding a 993 00:59:54,000 --> 00:52:47,000 dehydration they don't depend on the grid staying up. 994 00:52:47,000 --> 01:04:57,000 What about you. 995 00:55:28,000 --> 00:50:59,000 I do too. 996 00:50:59,000 --> 01:04:32,000 As I'm not a huge proponent of that and fermentation also as 997 01:06:12,000 --> 00:56:36,000 another as another method of food storage, 998 00:56:36,000 --> 00:57:28,000 by the way at the homegrown food summit. 999 00:57:28,000 --> 00:59:22,000 We have one presentation by Kendra Lynn who'll be showing you how 1000 00:59:22,000 --> 01:04:06,000 to do water about caning and how to do pressure canning and what I 1001 01:04:56,000 --> 00:59:27,000 love about it is, 1002 00:59:27,000 --> 01:02:17,000 you know, 1003 01:02:17,000 --> 01:04:10,000 as some people have a fear of those big pressure because they are 1004 01:04:50,000 --> 01:05:23,000 these big intimidating things and there's the stories of them 1005 01:05:23,000 --> 01:06:24,000 blowing up and stuff, 1006 01:06:24,000 --> 01:03:55,000 right. 1007 01:03:55,000 --> 00:53:08,000 There's no longer a concern about they've built them there now 1008 00:55:18,000 --> 01:05:58,000 face. 1009 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:29,000 But when you see Kendra. 1010 01:06:29,000 --> 00:57:43,000 Who is this flight and beautiful woman just handling that 1011 00:57:43,000 --> 01:03:07,000 machinery go I can do it and we also have already Hamann is going 1012 01:03:07,000 --> 00:52:21,000 to be doing a whole thing on how to how to preserve food by 1013 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:05,000 fermentation as well as the health benefits turns up at that 1014 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:59,000 fermented foods really help your gut bacteria and help you to 1015 00:54:49,000 --> 01:02:00,000 digest a lot better. 1016 01:02:00,000 --> 00:54:44,000 So some of these techniques are actually I can help increase the 1017 00:54:44,000 --> 01:00:46,000 nutrition content of the food you're eating. 1018 00:54:37,000 --> 01:00:10,000 Yeah warranties real gem we've had on radio shock and I still 1019 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:43,000 check out her blog once a week and it's important to keep up with 1020 01:01:13,000 --> 01:00:56,000 that one of my goals is to build a solar dryer. 1021 01:00:56,000 --> 00:55:47,000 Do you have one. 1022 01:04:07,000 --> 00:51:42,000 We do I used a model based on its side believe it's Appalachian 1023 00:52:42,000 --> 00:51:56,000 State University created this model there's there's lots of other 1024 00:51:56,000 --> 01:05:09,000 ones out there and it has worked really really well now we do tend 1025 01:05:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000 to be a bit drier here in Texas, 1026 00:59:11,000 --> 01:02:24,000 but I found that that model even worked well during the summer's 1027 00:53:25,000 --> 00:54:39,000 the times when we had a wet period that is definitely a technique 1028 00:54:39,000 --> 00:53:52,000 for the poor on preserving food that's a very useful. 1029 01:00:22,000 --> 01:01:15,000 Farmers around here used to throw their pitches up on a Hot Tin 1030 01:01:15,000 --> 00:52:19,000 Roof on one of their shepherds and solar dried them that way and 1031 00:52:19,000 --> 01:06:49,000 it did work. 1032 01:06:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000 Now let me ask you do you let chickens interior garden. 1033 01:02:43,000 --> 01:03:35,000 On rare occasions I do. 1034 00:53:56,000 --> 00:59:29,000 One example was one time my sweet potato showed up with these 1035 01:02:39,000 --> 01:00:42,000 strange looking little beetles that had a shiny. 1036 01:00:42,000 --> 00:53:05,000 It was almost what by chrome shell. 1037 00:53:05,000 --> 00:54:16,000 I have no idea what they were, 1038 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:38,000 they were and alien Beatles. 1039 00:54:38,000 --> 01:00:28,000 You know, 1040 01:00:28,000 --> 01:08:10,000 normally when I see an insect outbreak like that I think 1041 00:53:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000 immediately that my plants are stressed and they need some 1042 01:01:13,000 --> 00:56:16,000 nutrients you know some some some sort of nutrient thing and I'll 1043 00:56:56,000 --> 00:53:27,000 try to get them, 1044 00:53:27,000 --> 00:58:17,000 you know, 1045 00:58:17,000 --> 01:00:50,000 liquid seaweed or some homemade compost or something. 1046 01:00:50,000 --> 01:06:42,000 But in the short term immediate what I do that. 1047 01:06:42,000 --> 01:08:56,000 The chickens in there and chickens are naturally insect they love 1048 00:59:27,000 --> 01:09:00,000 insects first but I watch them innocent of their gun getting all 1049 00:52:51,000 --> 00:57:12,000 the insects then you wanna kick'em 1050 00:57:12,000 --> 00:58:14,000 out of the garden because then they'll start scratching up the 1051 00:58:14,000 --> 00:59:55,000 rest of your pricing ads. 1052 01:02:45,000 --> 00:55:16,000 I do, 1053 00:55:16,000 --> 00:53:00,000 they will scratch about so aren't that after all your YouTube 1054 00:54:50,000 --> 00:52:54,000 videos your best selling grow your own groceries course that you 1055 00:53:54,000 --> 00:52:46,000 hear from gardeners all over the world. 1056 00:52:46,000 --> 00:58:16,000 Do you. 1057 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:30,000 We don't know and we have a very active network of people they 1058 01:06:10,000 --> 00:57:11,000 contribute. 1059 00:58:01,000 --> 00:59:33,000 Things that they're discovering in there that that they're 1060 01:00:13,000 --> 00:58:36,000 learning and we're very excited about that and want to develop 1061 01:00:16,000 --> 01:05:00,000 that further well actually creating also a network of places just 1062 01:05:50,000 --> 00:59:03,000 like our place where we're doing research on different ways to 1063 00:59:03,000 --> 01:03:46,000 grow food other places that are doing that are starting to become 1064 01:04:46,000 --> 00:55:40,000 network together and sharing results and making it available to 1065 00:55:40,000 --> 01:06:24,000 them to everybody really I feel Alex this solution is gonna come 1066 01:07:14,000 --> 00:54:27,000 from you and for me and from, 1067 00:54:27,000 --> 01:06:10,000 you know I mean anybody even hardly an example Leslie Leslie 1068 01:06:10,000 --> 01:02:44,000 Parsons works still works full time and she only has a small 1069 01:02:44,000 --> 01:00:55,000 garden. 1070 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:38,000 She's very passionate about Squire should about 2 hundred square 1071 01:00:38,000 --> 00:55:21,000 foot garden and so she's been doing all these experiments were 1072 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:44,000 squash she's come up with a couple of varieties that are resistant 1073 00:59:44,000 --> 00:53:58,000 of the squash vine borer which is a horrible problem for people 1074 00:59:08,000 --> 01:06:11,000 and squash is such a good important calorie crop. 1075 01:06:11,000 --> 01:05:25,000 So you know she's only doing this part time in a 200ft² garden. 1076 01:05:25,000 --> 01:00:37,000 She has done really, 1077 01:00:37,000 --> 01:10:20,000 really valuable research on of a crop that's resistant to the 1078 01:10:20,000 --> 01:08:23,000 squash vine borer which is hugely important to the rest of us 1079 00:58:04,000 --> 01:08:27,000 she's publishing that work on our our blog and making it available 1080 01:08:27,000 --> 01:03:10,000 to other people and creating a whole discussion about it now. 1081 01:03:10,000 --> 00:55:33,000 Other people are trying it and duplicating our work and getting 1082 00:57:13,000 --> 01:06:54,000 feedback to her. 1083 01:06:54,000 --> 01:05:06,000 This is how it's gonna happen. 1084 01:05:06,000 --> 01:04:08,000 Monsanto is not here to help us, 1085 01:04:08,000 --> 01:01:50,000 the USDA is not here to help us. 1086 01:01:50,000 --> 00:54:32,000 Unfortunately our own government. 1087 00:54:32,000 --> 01:00:13,000 While it does try. 1088 01:00:13,000 --> 01:04:06,000 It's actually still we we controlled by the big companies. 1089 01:04:06,000 --> 01:03:59,000 This is gonna be a problem that can only be solved by you and me 1090 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:42,000 and by individuals and neighbors working together and that's the 1091 01:04:42,000 --> 00:55:47,000 whole reason for for what I do is working at this grassroots level 1092 01:01:27,000 --> 00:55:51,000 of coming up with real solutions for you to create your own food 1093 00:55:51,000 --> 01:05:41,000 and medicine. 1094 00:58:02,000 --> 01:08:25,000 What would you say the number one concern people razor or the 1095 00:54:36,000 --> 00:55:10,000 block that prevents them in their own minds from getting going on 1096 00:55:50,000 --> 01:03:31,000 growing their own groceries. 1097 00:58:22,000 --> 01:05:55,000 I think most people think that it's gonna be a lot of work and 1098 01:05:55,000 --> 01:00:08,000 they're not going to get much production out of it. 1099 01:00:08,000 --> 00:58:22,000 It's also were also such an instant gratification such high if it 1100 01:05:52,000 --> 01:07:06,000 take my son can with barbed work on a guitar and look at the Xbox 1101 01:07:06,000 --> 00:56:28,000 and like in 5 minutes. 1102 00:56:28,000 --> 01:00:02,000 He's a rock star okay with with that then and I just doesn't have 1103 01:00:02,000 --> 01:10:05,000 . And in the garden things take 2 to 3 months to mature. 1104 01:10:05,000 --> 00:55:11,000 So it's adjusting to life style that's actually more human scale 1105 01:00:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000 is a pretty big block. 1106 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000 I would say though, 1107 00:56:14,000 --> 00:57:07,000 that's probably one of the things you're most Hungarian for in 1108 00:57:07,000 --> 01:07:37,000 your life. 1109 00:59:48,000 --> 00:57:01,000 You know it's strange a start following your heart into something 1110 00:57:01,000 --> 01:01:34,000 as you did with personal food growing and I could also call that 1111 01:02:14,000 --> 01:09:25,000 personal liberty, 1112 01:09:25,000 --> 00:55:29,000 then you teacher communicate you connect a normal suddenly you 1113 00:56:59,000 --> 01:00:41,000 Marjorie while Kraft have become kind of a, 1114 01:00:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000 a one-woman movement on your own. 1115 00:55:43,000 --> 01:08:33,000 Isn't it strange. 1116 01:02:24,000 --> 01:06:45,000 It is it, 1117 01:06:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000 it's only a review as about this week. 1118 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:11,000 15 years ago our view to told me what I will girl what I'd be 1119 00:55:42,000 --> 01:11:54,000 doing Iacocca where have no no no, 1120 01:11:54,000 --> 01:10:27,000 or you know you know life is amazing adventures a. 1121 01:05:20,000 --> 01:09:20,000 Well, 1122 01:09:20,000 --> 00:59:14,000 I want to take your DVD course what's in it and why does it cost. 1123 01:07:24,000 --> 01:11:58,000 Well know said it's it's 2 DVDs and then it includes a CD-ROM 1124 00:56:19,000 --> 01:03:02,000 that's a whole library of documents to support it and I, 1125 01:03:02,000 --> 01:05:42,000 one, 1126 01:05:42,000 --> 01:08:25,000 it's basically like me taken you by the hand and taking you 1127 01:09:45,000 --> 01:03:40,000 through my homestead here and showing you how I grow food and I'm 1128 01:04:30,000 --> 01:07:50,000 like, 1129 01:07:50,000 --> 01:00:21,000 you know. 1130 01:00:21,000 --> 01:02:44,000 Here's the water tanks were set up to catch rainwater and oh by 1131 01:02:44,000 --> 01:10:26,000 the way we overbuilt it it was a huge mistake. 1132 01:10:26,000 --> 01:01:50,000 Please don't make it this big and then he a place where we started 1133 01:02:50,000 --> 01:08:52,000 a garden and here's another place we started a garden and these 1134 01:08:52,000 --> 01:04:35,000 are the reasons why those gardens totally sucked in failed. 1135 01:04:35,000 --> 00:57:29,000 But here's where we put our other garden and this is working, 1136 00:57:29,000 --> 01:03:11,000 and here's the gardening method that years because this is the 1137 01:03:11,000 --> 01:06:03,000 most efficient one and I've tried all these other ones, 1138 01:06:03,000 --> 01:10:16,000 but this is the one that I really like and here's where I keep the 1139 01:10:16,000 --> 01:08:59,000 rabbits and I put them right here next to the garden because 1140 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:12,000 outweigh their fertility can help me and it's real simple and easy 1141 01:09:12,000 --> 01:02:43,000 to do this. 1142 01:02:43,000 --> 01:03:14,000 This way, 1143 01:03:14,000 --> 01:10:26,000 and here's my flock of chickens and here's the reason I have'em 1144 01:10:26,000 --> 00:58:39,000 like this and here's the dogs and oh, 1145 00:58:39,000 -->
