To learn more about the highest reaches of the world, Aurora Elmore, Ph.D., geologist, climate change expert, and Senior Program Manager of Science and Innovation at the National Geographic Society, recently managed the most comprehensive scientific expedition to Mt. Everest, sending a team of 34 multidisciplinary scientists to the world's highest mountain to collect glaciological and meteorological data by installing the highest weather stations in the world. Elmore will share what the data collected on the expedition tells us about how climate changes are playing out on the highest point on Earth.
