Columbus Science Pub Presents- Glaciers Tell the Truth

Somewhere on a mountain in Peru, there’s a chunk of ice that’s been sitting there for over 1,800 years. Locked inside it is a record of every drought, every eruption, every shift in the atmosphere. A frozen archive of Earth’s climate history and future that no one can argue with.

Lonnie G. Thompson is one of the world’s foremost authorities on paleoclimatology and glaciology. He has led 68 expeditions during the last 50 years, conducting ice-core drilling programs in the Polar Regions as well as on the high mountain glaciers in 16 countries including China, Peru, Russia, Tanzania and Papua, Indonesia. Among many awards he has received he holds the U.S. National Medal of Science, the highest honor the U.S. awards to American scientists.
