Can the sound of melting glaciers predict sea level rise that is accelerated by global warming?

The Arctic may be seen as geographically isolated from the rest of the world, yet its thinning sea ice is connected to melting glaciers in the Andes and the Himalayas as well as the flooding of low-lying island states.

Oceanography researcher Dr Hari Vishnu shares about the research he is carrying out on the acoustics of melting glaciers, and how this allows countries like Singapore to come up with measures to adapt to future sea level rise.
