ACES Wild Perspectives: Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Ice Field
Science on Skis: Traversing the Juneau Ice Field
About the Presentation:
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?”
About the Speaker:
Izzo Steenrod is a Naturalist with ACES and lives at Toklat in the Castle Creek Valley. She studied geology at Colorado College and finds endless inspiration in the outdoors. Her passions for skiing, outdoor education, adventure, and earth science culminated into a summer spent on the Juneau Icefield.
