Event details
Please join the Geological Society, in partnership with Durham University, for this instalment in the Climate Off the Rails series. This event will comprise a presentation titled Exploring the importance of glaciers for water, food, and energy security by Dr Caroline Clason, followed by a structured discussion.
“Thousands have lived without love, but not one without water” (W.H. Auden). Mountains are crucial natural reservoirs of freshwater, often viewed as “water towers” for millions of people living downstream of Earth's high mountain regions. Yet this key resource is under threat as glaciers retreat and snowpack declines in response to the warming climate, with knock-on impacts not only for water security, but also food and energy supplies. This talk will explore the trends and drivers of glacier change in mountain regions, and the impacts of changing water supply for both people and the environment. It will discuss the state of glacier-fed water security around the world, including what the future holds for high mountain regions such as the Andes and Himalayas, and consider how we can mitigate and adapt to the impacts of Earth's disappearing ice.
Speaker
Dr Caroline Clason is an Associate Professor at Durham University.
