Prevention Based on Prediction: How to simulate ice sheets and coastal wave movement

If you want to restore a habitat, then you have to convince a lot of people that it’s worthwhile by using evidence, but how can you get that evidence without doing the restoration first? Join me as I explain how I’m building a fake forest, reef and meadow, to explore how these habitats can reduce wave impacts along our coast. I’ll be impacting these fake habitats with real waves in Newcastle University’s wave tank, and I’ll be bringing my own wave tank with me, so you too can have a go at protecting our coasts…

What happens in the polar regions doesn't stay in the polar regions. Learn how we monitor them, predict how they will change in the future, and what that means for us. Find out what it's like to be a scientist working on the ice and what you can do to help protect some of our planet's most fragile places.
