with ️ Alan Condron, Scientific Researcher and Climate Modeller at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution  Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education. What we covered: How Iceberg drift in oceans can be modeled and what can be learned from it  How large an Iceberg shall be upon arrival in Cape Town, to cover 20% of the city's water needs   How that Iceberg would behave all along a towing route that would lead it from Antarctica to South Africa  How challenging it would be, to harvest the Iceberg's water upon arrival  The ecological impacts of an Iceberg tow  The bigger picture around Day Zero and Water Scarcity in arid places in the world, like Cape Town  How the ecological impacts of a one-time tow are probably negligible while the consequences of a repeated commercial-scale activity would have to be studied  How a successful proof of concept would enable verifying theory and possibly build the suited infrastructure to extract the best out of the Iceberg.  How an Iceberg tow to Dubai is a different game than a southern hemisphere destination  The financial equation of an Iceberg towing project, the scientific approach that would enable us to learn from the first tow, Nick Sloane's project... and much more! ... and of course, we concluded with the   ➡️ Get the Full Story (including an infographic and full transcript) here: https://dww.show/a-climate-modellers-truth-on-the-controversial-project-of-iceberg-harvesting/Hosted on Ausha.
