A big loss for climate science - Konrad Steffen dies in an accident in Greenland
We were very fortunate to meet Konrad, and also interview him in Greenland for our feature documentary Planet RE:think. Konrad, a leading Swiss climate researcher, has for more than 40 years conducting research into climate change in the Arctic and Antarctic.
In respect for Konrad and all his important scientific work on climate change, we have included the chapter, with Konrad, about the constant accelerating melting of the Arctic that contributes to global sea-level rise.
The rate of ice loss has risen seven-fold, from 33 billion tonnes per year in the 1990s to 254 billion tonnes per year in the last decade.
