Post Description
"Wrapping Greenland" takes existing technology used in the Alps, and scales it up, taking it for the first time ever to the rapidly melting Arctic ice shelf in Greenland.
Dr. Jason Box, a Nobel-prize winning glaciologist from the University of Ohio, wants to wrap Greenland's glaciers in reflective "blankets" in order to slow their increasing melt rate.
Challenges the team faces:
* Finding a material that can reflect sunlight and withstand freezing temperatures.
* Figuring out the logistics and costs of carrying out a plan of this scale.
