Tom Slater from the University of Leeds joins us to discuss remote sensing of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, the case for pragmatic climate optimism, and what it’s like to discover a love of science long after you’ve left school.

Tom’s 2020 Nature Climate Change paper, ‘Ice-sheet losses track high-end sea-level rise projections’: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0893-y
