SUMMARY:Associate Professor Duanne White – ‘Antarctic ice shelves?’
DESCRIPTION:What lies beneath Antarctic ice shelves? Duanne\, from University of Canberra\, will show field studies of how warm ocean currents\, past and present\, are melting the weak underbelly of the ice sheet in the Denman Glacier region. \nAssociate Professor Duanne White is a quantitative geomorphologist and geochemist\, at the University of Canberra\, interested in catchment and Earth Systems. This involves understanding the links between landscape\, climate and critters\, and how these have changed during the Quaternary period – i.e. the last couple of million years. This interest has taken him across Australia and on several trips to Antarctica\, the Arctic and Sub-Antarctic Islands and beyond. \nBookings open on 24 October at https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFX \nBooking\nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated. \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached. \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.
