Research interests
I am researching techniques to restore Arctic sea ice with the Centre for Climate Repair. During my undergraduate degrees I realised that whilst emissions reductions are essential, they are insufficient to prevent the effects of climate change. Hence, I now research whether pumping seawater through the sea ice to bypass its insulating effect can thicken Arctic ice to protect it against global warming.
For more information see the Centre for Climate Repair website (www.climaterepair.cam.ac.uk), my LinkedIn page (www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-pantling), an interview about my research and trip to the Arctic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jCFjlxU3MA) or this BBC article about the project (www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-68206309)
