Mike Wolovick discusses engineering techniques to slow down glaciers, reducing sea level rise

Our guest this week is Mike Wolovick, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the College of Global Change and Earth Systems Science, Beijing Normal University. Mike and Andrew discuss how glaciers might be slowed down using a variety of engineering techniques. See the paper Andrew, Mike wrote
