The video discusses a study on how climate change is affecting Earth's axis and the North Pole's location. It explains polar motion, the role of GRACE satellites, and recent shifts in polar drift due to climate change. The study uses modeling to show that accelerated ice melt in the '90s contributed to these changes. Future research may use these methods to understand historical water movement.
