University of Maine glaciologist Paul Mayewski will be one of the subjects of a new documentary, “Expedition Everest,” set to air on the NatGeo channel on June 30. Mayewski, who leads UMaine’s Climate Change Institute, headed to Everest in April 2019 alongside a team of Sherpas, biologists, glaciologists, geologists, meteorologists and geographers from all over the world, including five other UMaine scientists. The goal of the expedition was to create a snapshot of the climate and ecology of Everest and to install a network of automated weather stations for future remote research.
