正文(英文) | ‘Ice Flows’, a free-to-use and interactive game, which demonstrates the impact of climate change in Antarctica now has an exciting new feature – explainer videos, narrated by the penguin characters from the game. The game was developed by University of Exeter’s Dr Anne Le Brocq, in collaboration with games developers Inhouse Visuals and Questionable Quality, ‘Ice Flows’ to help communicate the impact of climate change on the Antarctic Ice Sheet in an accessible way to children and game players of all ages. Voiced by a group of international scientists, the new explainer videos allow players to gain a more in-depth understanding of how ice sheets work. The videos use real game play to discuss topics including ice shelves, icebergs, climate change and sea level. ‘Ice Flows’ is built on a simple representation of how ice flows in Antarctica and how it responds to changes in the environment – through changes in snowfall and ocean temperature. It allows players to impose climatic changes to control the extent of the ice sheet to guide penguins to fish. The aim is to promote understanding of the complexity of the ice sheet system by enabling the player to carry out their own ice sheet model experiments, much like the scientists working on the research. The game has a number of levels representing how different parts of the Antarctic will respond to climate change. Dr Anne Le Brocq said:
The game is funded as part of a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). The project aims to investigate what may happen in the near-future in the Weddell Sea region of Antarctica and the impact changes here could have on global sea-level. Find out more about the project here. You can watch the videos on the Ice Flows website, or via the “Ice Flows Game” YouTube channel. The game is free to play on either the website or via the App Stores. |
