Aug. 12th, 2016 02:42 pmПит Конвей познакомил меня с совершенно чудесной женщиной-ученым из British Antarctic Survey, доктором Мелоди Кларк.
Подаемся сейчас на совместный проект, который правда имеет не очень много шансов выиграть - но ради такого контакта даже сам факт кое-чего стоит.
Here in stark Antarctica, approximately 9,190 miles away from what some scientists consider as similarly inhospitable Whitehall environs, molecular biologist Melody Clark squints at 20-odd species of marine invertebrates late into the night: fragile and innocuous snails, shrimps and sea urchins, as part of the government's efforts to fight climate change.
For two months every other year, 51-year-old Clark dangles in crevasses, collecting samples that will tell her whether these animals are likely to adapt to changes that have already shrunk seven of the 12 ice shelves bordering their home, along with 81% of some 300 glaciers. "People in the UK might think well 'what's it got to do with me', but my work does have direct relevance to animals living off the coast of the UK," says Clark.
