Ola Kalén

Ola Kalén is an oceanographer at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) who specializes in the study of sea level rise and its implications for climate change. He has been actively involved in research concerning the melting of ice sheets in Antarctica, particularly the Thwaites Glacier, which has significant potential to impact global sea levels. Kalén emphasizes the uncertainties surrounding the rate of ice melting and the need for urgent action to mitigate rising sea levels and their effects on coastal communities.
