  Alison Cook (FP 1994) is a Geographer, specialising in Cartography.She works with British Antarctic Survey (BAS) as part of the small team who map the Antarctic continent.The team is called MAGIC (Mapping and Geographic Information Centre).She has spent two seasons on Antarctica in the past five years and is about to head south in January 2009 for another season of fieldwork and information gathering.
  
  Researching and compiling maps of places which have not yet been mapped is an exciting and challenging life.Flying over the ices sheets in twin otter planes, landing on ice ways, travelling in Skidoos, climbing mountains no one has been on before, skiing across the ice, living with penguins and rather vicious seals are all part and parcel of her work in Antarctica.The BAS research station is based in Rothera and, during the Antarctic summer, is home to about 100 scientists (Geographers, Geologists, Biologists, Meteorologists).
  
  Alison gave Form I classes a wonderful insight into the sheer size and diversity of the continent.

  "Fifty years ago most glaciers were slowly growing in length, but the pattern is now reversed and they're shrinking," the British Antarctic Survey's Alison Cook told a press conference in London.Of 244 glaciers studied, 87% have shown a net retreat since photographic evidence was first collected in the 1940s, says Cook, who led the project.The trend is probably linked to local climate changes on the peninsula, she explains, where temperatures have risen by around 2ºC over the past 50 years.

  About 212 of the 244 glaciers surrounding the peninsula, which stretches north from the southern polar continent toward South America, have retreated as temperatures have risen more than 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit since the 1950s, reported the study by Alison Cook and colleagues.
  ...
  The glacial retreat puts Antarctic ice shelves and sheets at risk, wrote Cook, a geographic data analyst with the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, England, and the study's lead author.Inland glaciers that flow from mountains into the ocean and keep continental ice sheets in place are retreating, Cook said.
