Antarctica and Climate Change at Curtis Library
BRUNSWICK — On Wednesday, Sept. 13 from 1-3 p.m. in the Morrell Meeting Room, Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St, Brunswick, Geologists Nelia Dunbar and Bill McIntosh will give a presentation on carrying out scientific research on volcanoes in Antarctica and insights provided into past and future climate change. Dunbar and McIntosh are geologists associated with the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, where Dunbar recently became the New Mexico State Geologist. They have devoted a good part of their professional lives to studying the continent, including a combined total of over 50 austral summer visits there. Understanding the history of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is much in the news these days, has been a principal focus of Dunbar and McIntosh’s work.
