MAD Feed, February 13, 2015

Jason Box is one of the leading experts of the Greenland ice sheet. Since 1994, he has spent over one-year camping on the inland ice, investigating atmosphere-surface interactions, physical climatology and environmental problems. Box was a contributing author to ‘Climate Change 2007,’ the report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; the IPCC was co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. Box’s most recent endeavour is Dark Snow Project, a crowd-funded effort to analyze the role of wildfires and industrial soot in a recent unprecedented melt of the area.
