with 🎙️ Alan Condron, Scientific Researcher and Climate Modeller at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 

💧 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education.

What we covered:

🍏 How Iceberg drift in oceans can be modeled and what can be learned from it 

🍏 How large an Iceberg shall be upon arrival in Cape Town, to cover 20% of the city's water needs 

🧮  How that Iceberg would behave all along a towing route that would lead it from Antarctica to South Africa 

🍎 How challenging it would be, to harvest the Iceberg's water upon arrival 

🔍 The ecological impacts of an Iceberg tow 

🍎 The bigger picture around Day Zero and Water Scarcity in arid places in the world, like Cape Town 

🔍 How the ecological impacts of a one-time tow are probably negligible while the consequences of a repeated commercial-scale activity would have to be studied 

🍏 How a successful proof of concept would enable verifying theory and possibly build the suited infrastructure to extract the best out of the Iceberg. 

🍎 How an Iceberg tow to Dubai is a different game than a southern hemisphere destination 

🍏 The financial equation of an Iceberg towing project, the scientific approach that would enable us to learn from the first tow, Nick Sloane's project... and much more!
