Paul Emile Victor on the melting of glaciers in Adélie Earth

Publication date 21/09/1976 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

On 25 February 1976 the Danish polar vessel "Thala Dan" arrived on the Antarctic coast after 25 days of sailing from Australia. On board, Jacques ERTAUD proposes to spend a week on the French scientific base Dumont d'Urville located on the island of Pétrels. On board the polar ship, he meets Paul Emile VICTOR, whose last voyage as director of the French Polar Expeditions presents the characteristics of the Antarctic continent, testifies to the melting of the ice since its first expedition in January 1956 and speaks of the specificity of the Antarctic icebergs, the "tabular" resulting from the melting of the Astrolabe glacier.

Antarctica: the retreat of the ice giant

Publication date 13/01/2014 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

This alert report on the consequences of global warming: a huge iceberg is breaking away from the Pine Island glacier on the Antarctic continent. It is the warming of the waters that accelerates the melting of the glacier. Researchers are measuring this phenomenon of melting ice that could cause a humanitarian catastrophe by raising the waters of the oceans. Alternation of archive images, an infographic, and an interview with Gaël DURAND, glaciologist and CNRS.

Observation of Antarctic glaciers by glaciologists from Grenoble

Publication date 08/03/2011 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Report on the observations made by a team of French glaciologists from Grenoble in Antarctica. They study the ice sheet to measure the effects of global warming and the risk of melting glaciers. The commentary on factual images and infographics alternates with the interview of Emmanuel LE MEUR, glaciologist and Michel SACCHETTINI, research engineer.

The melting of the ice in Antarctica

Publication date 11/03/2006 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Report. A new scientific study shows that the melting of the ice in Antarctica is indeed a reality and that an acceleration of the phenomenon is beginning to worry the scientific community. The impact of human activity on this phenomenon. Alternating factual images with interviews with Jean JOUZEL, director of the Pierre Simon Laplace Institute, and Lee COOPER, climatologist from the University of Tennessee in the United States.

Alps: the inexorable melting of glaciers

Publication date 25/06/2019 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Report on the warming of the climate and its direct consequences on the melting of the ice. Example with the White Glacier. Located in the Massif des Ecrins in the Hautes-Alpes, it loses its ice mass from year to year. The glaciologists who follow the evolution of the glacier are showing alarming results. In 80 years the glacier may have disappeared. A commentary on factual images alternates with infographic images and interviews with Emmanuel THIBERT, glaciologist and Nicolas CHAUD, guardian of the refuge of the white glacier.

What if we melt the Arctic glaciers?

Publication date 03/11/1958 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Lucien Barnier, a scientific journalist, evokes the theory of a Soviet glaciologist who suggests deliberately melting the glaciers of the Arctic in order to liberate from the ice the coasts close to the Soviet Union. He explains that the consequences for Europe would be dramatic "Holland would be submerged, the Seine valley would be an inlet". LA CLAVERE, a specialist in Antarctica, adds: "This could precipitate disaster".

Consequences of the greenhouse effect on glaciers

Publication date 30/11/1997 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Before the Kyoto climate conference, a report on the consequences of the greenhouse effect on the melting of glaciers, such as the Bossons glacier in the Alps. A significant rise in temperature could have disastrous impacts on climate and water rise by 2100.

The mechanism of melting glaciers

Publication date 31/05/1963 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

Explanation of the mechanism of melting glaciers, linked to the evolution of the Earth’s climate. An example is the retreat of a large American glacier photographed between 1889 and 1950, of fjords in Norway.

Nicolas Skrotzky: the influence of glaciers on human life

Publication date 31/05/1963 From €100.00

Melting glaciers

At the microphone of Roger LOUIS, the scientific journalist Nicolas SKROTZKY explains the importance of glaciology from the top of a glacier of the sea of ice. It evokes the influence of glaciers on past and future climate and human life. According to him, a melting of the ice would lead to a significant rise in the water and the swallowing up of many cities.
