The Search for Earth's Oldest Ice | Duncan Young | Tiny Talks Austin

Recorded on March 26th, 2024 at Austin School of Film in Austin, TX.
Duncan Young, a geophysicist at the University of Texas, delves into the profound questions of human existence and intelligence within the universe's vast history that his field research is helping to answer. His career led him from studying Venus to exploring Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier with radar technology to detect hidden ice valleys that significantly impact sea levels. Young's journey has now taken him to a project involving Jupiter's moon Europa, seeking to understand ice-environment interactions that could hint at life beyond Earth.
