Climate change in the polar regions is a critical component of how global climate change will affect humanity in the coming decades to centuries. The Scambos Research group aims to understand the processes at work in the polar regions, particularly Antarctica, as warming air and ocean conditions affect the ice sheet. Remote sensing of ice flow, snow roughness, and surface temperature and melt have yielded exciting insights into Antarctic processes in several regions across the ice sheet. In addition to satellite sensors, the group has build several novel instrument installations to monitor weather, ice motion, and ice and ocean conditions through year-round in situ measurements.
