Scientists say 95 percent of the thickest ice in the Arctic Ocean has already melted. Now they are focusing on ice melt from inland glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere and how it’s affecting sea level rise. University of Arizona planetary scientist Jack Holt is leading a team trying to predict how glaciers build and retreat in response to climate change. 

Jack Holt spoke with Tim Swindle, Ph.D Professor Emeritus of Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.
