In a experiment, I don't know yet.

0:06.0

Why is it like so far?

0:08.0

Like, it sounds so simple.

0:09.0

They had no idea.

0:11.0

But now the data's people.

0:12.0

I find this not only refreshing, but at some level astounding.

Nature. Hello and welcome to the nature.

0:25.6

Hello and welcome to the Nature podcast. This week we'll be finding out how giant engineering projects could help slow down sea level rise.

0:30.6

And we'll be hearing how diamonds are helping to increase the resolving power of NMR.

This is the nature podcast for the 15th of March 2018.

I'm Charmany Bundell. And I'm Benjamin Thompson.

Here on the Nature podcast, we talk quite a lot about climate change.

0:53.9

Agreed, but it is quite important.

0:55.7

True. Well, we've got another climate change-related story today, but this one is rather unusual.

1:01.8

Rather than focusing on preventing the planet from warming up, today we're talking about how to slow down sea level rise.

1:08.4

There's a proposal from a group of scientists writing in a comment piece

1:11.6

in nature this week that one solution could be massive engineering projects in Antarctica.

1:17.0

I got in touch with one of the scientists proposing this. John Moore is a glaciologist

1:21.5

who knows Antarctica pretty well. Working in Antarctica, the first thing I would say that you

1:27.4

notice is the silence.

1:29.1

It is so quiet.
