The Maine QuestionWhat is the legacy and future of the Climate Change Institute?The nation’s first multi- and inter-disciplinary research institute to study Earth’s recent and long-term climate variability was founded in 1972 at the University of Maine. That institute, now known as the Climate Change Institute, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, a milestone that honors the many groundbreaking discoveries its scientists have made in the field of climate science.
CCI have scientists first mapped the difference between climate during the Ice Age and today in the 1970s; discovered the importance of marine-based ice sheets in the 1980s; connected acid rain to human causes in the mid-1980s; uncovered the conc...

The Maine QuestionWhat happens if Mount Everest loses all of its snow and ice?No place on earth can escape the effects of climate change, not even Mount Everest. The highest glacier on the world’s tallest mountain — the South Col Glacier — is rapidly disappearing. A new University of Maine-led study found that the glacier is losing several decades of ice and snow accumulation annually due to human-induced climate change.
These findings are the latest from the 2019 National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, led by UMaine Climate Change Institute director Paul Mayewski. In this episode of “The Maine Question,” Mayewski and UMaine Ph.D. candidate Mariusz Potocki, both co-authors of the new study, ela...

ScienceWhys: Questions at the Confluence of Science and EthicsOne Word Summarizes All of it, and That is PerspectivePaul Mayewski, director and professor of the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, has done climate research at all three “poles”--the North Pole, the South Pole, and Everest. He discusses the transformation of climate science during his career, and his work to gather evidence for the possibility for the climate to change abruptly.
Toward the end of the podcast, Paul mentions a website he and colleagues have developed, that allows you to look up climate data for your own area. You can find it here. [https://www.whyclimatematters.com/]

The Maine QuestionDid climate impact WWI, Spanish flu casualties?Incessant torrential rain and cold air over Europe from 1914 to 1919 likely increased the number of people who died during World War I (22 million) and the Spanish flu pandemic (50 million). Alex More and Paul Mayewski from the Climate Change Institute connected data from climate science, history and public health to make the discovery. The colleagues say the once-in-a-century climate anomaly may have been caused by dust and explosives from the war that impacted the local atmosphere. As we anticipate another wave of COVID-19, More says we should be mindful of the interconnectedness of human-caused climate change, environmental conditions and disease.

The Maine QuestionThe Maine Question(part 2)What's it like living and doing research in the world's remote locations?In this episode we continue our conversation with Paul Mayewski- director of UMaine’s Climate ChangeInstitute. During the past 50 years or so he has led several dozen research trips to the world’s most remote places-Antarctica, the Himalayas, the arctic among them. In part two he shares more tales of his adventures. He discusses the unexpected parts of his work- namely dealing with media coverage and politics of the topic of climate change, what he sees as the future for this highly charged topic and how the human race will cope with it or not.

The National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Expedition is believed to be one of the most comprehensive studies conducted on top of Mount Everest. Paul Mayewski, a Climate Scientist from the University of Maine, and the expedition's scientific leader says, “It’s the highest place on earth and perfect to investigate the potential impacts of climate change." According to researchers, Mount Everest is one of the few peaks tall enough to actually protrude into the South Asia...

The Greater GoodBurning Platform: The Arctic + Climate ChangeThe long term impacts of climate change are frequently discussed, but it is equally important to understand how a changing climate is impacting Arctic landscapes, populations, laws, policies and economies TODAY. Rapidly melting ice is generating new shipping lanes, mining opportunities, fisheries and more. We explore the importance of a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to understanding and solving problems, and how that can help us better predict the impacts of climate change on future generations.Dr. Paul Andrew Mayewski is an internationally acclaimed glaciologist, climate scientist and polar explorer who has forged a career through accomplishments at the cutting...
