DESCRIPTION:What fate for the Antarctic ice sheet?\n\nAntarctica is a dis
 tant\, unfamiliar place. We hear of ice shelves collapsing\, giant icebe
 rgs breaking away\, glaciers crumbling: but how much we do know about th
 e fate of this great ice sheet? Tamsin will talk about her research in q
 uantifying uncertainty in Antarctic ice sheet projections and how this h
 as been used in evidence reviews for policymakers such as the IPCC asses
 sment reports.\n\nDr Tamsin Edwards is a climate scientist specialising 
 in quantifying the uncertainties of climate model predictions\, particul
 arly for the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet contributions to sea-leve
 l rise. She is a Lead Author of the forthcoming Intergovernmental Panel 
 on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (to be published in 202
 1) and a Contributing Author to the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and
  Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (2019). Tamsin regularly advises the U
 K Government on sea-level rise\, climate science and science communicati
 on\, and provides expert comment to international media and business. Sh
 e is an award-winning communicator\, including through Twitter (@flimsin
