Wild Perspectives | Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Ice Field

Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Icefield is about Izzo’s experience as a student with the Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP). Since 1946, JIRP has facilitated two months of immersive, hands-on glaciology research across the Icefield. Izzo will share about glaciological field methods, camp life and logistics, and hopefully answer the question: “Why study glaciers in a warming climate?”
