KSAT reports on discoveries from Everest expedition – Mayewski et al.
KSAT in San Antonio reported on research from the most comprehensive scientific expedition to Mount Everest. Several researchers, including scientists from the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, participated in the 2019 National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, and shared their findings in papers published in the interdisciplinary scientific journal One Earth. Paul Mayewski, director of the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, said the discovery of accelerating ice loss in glaciers around Mount Everest in particular serves as “a real wake-up call.”
