On the first episode of the EGU Biogeosciences Division’s podcast series, Bikem Ekberzade interviews Helen Feord on the algal blooms that contribute to the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Together with Feord, a researcher for the 5-year long project DEEP PURPLE the two scientists talk about cryosphere research, climate change and what it means for us today.
