Tim Naish

Tim Naish is a New Zealand glaciologist. He is the Director of the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.[1] He has written about the collapse of Antarctica's Larsen B ice shelf. In 2002, between January 31 and March 7 the Larsen B ice shelf collapsed and broke up. Tim Naish warned that the ice shelf of Weddell Sea is imperiled, and if the temperature rises by 3 °C, the ice shelves of Antarctica will become thinner.
“These are dramatic changes” – said Tim Naish.
In 2009, Professor Naish was awarded a New Zealand Antarctic Medal (NZAM) for services to Antarctic climate science.
