"Café con hie lo" is a series of dissemination talks that will cover current issues on po lar science. The activity comes from the collaboration between the platform POLARCSIC (from the Spanish National Research Council) and APECS-Spain, wi th the aim of approaching polar science to the general public. The series w ill include 6 sessions, all of them during Spring 2021. In each session, tw o scientists will give a flash talk about different perspectives of the ses sion topic and afterwards, there will be an open round table, conducted by a chair related to the topic. The idea is to promote the participation of t he audience with questions and comments to create a conversation among all the participants. The activities will be broadcasted live on Youtube and wi ll be in Spanish, so we encourage all our Spanish speaker colleagues from a ll over the world to join us!
First session: "Climate C
hange at the Poles"
"Global warming is dramatically accelerat
ing the melting of ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctica, affecting not
only human, animal and plant life, but also atmospheric and ocean circulat
ion and sea level. The changes that occur in the polar zones affect the ent
ire planet, with direct consequences on climate dynamics, both in other lat
itudes and in global climate processes. According to scientists, the growin
g threats of climate change make polar research an increasingly global prio
rity. Now, a webinar entitled "Climate Change at the Poles", which is part
of the new cycle of outreach conferences "Coffee with ice", addresses these
issues. It will feature Carlota Escutia, scientist at the Andalusian Insti
tute of Earth Sciences (IACT-CSIC-UGR), and Nicolás Valiente, researcher at
the University of Oslo. The meeting will be moderated by José Miguel Viñas
, meteorologist at Meteored and disseminator of atmospheric sciences. Escut
ia will discuss the impact of climate change on the Antarctic ice sheets an
d Valiente will explain the role of Arctic lake ecosystems as sentinels of
climate change."
