Inspiring West Virginians - The Ice Hunters

A documentary profile of two of the world's leading paleoclimatologists -- Lonnie Thompson and Ellen Mosley-Thompson -- who work at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University. Both native West Virginians, the Thompsons are pioneers in the field of ice
core paleoclimatology -- the study of the history of the earth's climate using ice cores. They and their teams have drilled ice cores on more than 50 expeditions to polar regions and the world's highest tropical glaciers. Part of the Inspiring West Virginians series produced by Jean Snedegar of Elkins, West Virginia and WV PBS.

Inspiring West Virginians is made possible by the generous support of the Myles Family Foundation - inspiring West Virginians to soar. Additional funding is provided by the National Science Foundation's West Virginia Experimental Project to Stimulate Competitive Research - investing in West Virginia's future by building infrastructure for scientific research.
