Antarctica is at the frontline of witnessing the effects of climate change and Dr Chen Zhao is one of the lead researchers mapping how the Antarctic ice-sheets are affected by global warming, and the potential consequences of this on rising sea-levels. The importance of her work has now been recognised by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science, who named her one of two 2025 Young Tall Poppys of the Year.

Guest: Dr Chen Zhao, glaciologist and ice-sheet modeller with the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania.
