Watson Lecture: Zhongwen Zhan (PhD '13) Discusses His Odyssey to the South Pole

Katie Neith
In this Watson Lecture, professor of geophysics, Zhongwen Zhan, will describe a monthlong research expedition he took to Antarctica in December 2022 to explore an innovative method for detecting seismic waves in ice. By using telecommunication lines buried in ice to pick up vibrations, he aims to learn more about the physics and deep structure of glaciers and ice sheets, and how the polar regions are changing amid ongoing climate change. In this talk, Zhan will also share some of the personal experiences of the journey that reshaped his perspective, not just on geophysics but on life as a scientist.
