Guardians of the Ice

     · “a multidisciplinary art project attending to the Columbia Icefield and all that it means. The Icefield,

        located on the Continental Divide in the Canadian Rockies, is a significant bellwether of the accelerating

        effects of climate change. It is retreating faster than ever, and we are facing an unknown future, charged

        with stories of hope and prophecies of doom, and therefore rich with opportunity.

Notes:

· On this page, there is no special section for climate

   change since, due to the severety and ubiquity of

   climate change impacts on the polar environment,

   nearly every link on this page in some way touches

   on climate change.  

· Cryosphere defintion: “...the part of the Earth

   system that includes solid precipitation, snow, sea

   ice, lake and river ice, icebergs, glaciers and ice

   caps, ice sheets and ice shelves, and permafrost and

   seasonally frozen ground.”*
