Frankie Pavia

In this insightful discussion, geochemist Frankie Pavia from the University of Washington sheds light on his groundbreaking research using cosmic dust to uncover Arctic climate history. He explains how debris from asteroids and comets can reveal conditions from the last ice age, including a striking 300% deficit in cosmic dust, indicating extensive ice cover. Pavia also explores factors that contributed to the melting of Arctic ice, linking past data to future climate predictions and emphasizing the importance of understanding these changes.
