“Ice Piracy” in Antarctica: Insights from Prof. Dr. Orhan İnce 🧊🐝

Prof. Dr. Orhan İnce, a faculty member of the Department of Environmental Engineering, shared his expert insights on a recently observed phenomenon in Antarctica known as “ice piracy”—a term used to describe the shifting and appropriation of glacial masses as a result of climate change.

In the interview, Prof. İnce draws attention to the accelerating impacts of global warming in polar regions. He discusses how changing glacial dynamics are reshaping the Antarctic landscape and stresses the critical importance of scientific monitoring systems in tracking and understanding these transformations.

🔍 Prof. İnce highlights:

  • The causes and consequences of "ice piracy" within the broader context of glacial melt and redistribution,

  • The role of international scientific collaboration in environmental monitoring,

  • The urgency of climate action, particularly in vulnerable polar ecosystems.
