When The Ice Melts with Dr. M Jackson

When The Ice Melts with Dr. M Jackson
Glaciologist | TED Fellow | National Geographic Explorer

Mar. 23, 2021, 6:30 p.m. | Virtual

Dr. M Jackson will give a talk exploring how melting Icelandic glaciers profoundly impact and shape both local communities and people worldwide. Using stunning visual imagery gathered from over a decade working for National Geographic on glaciers across the Arctic, Jackson shows how ice influences people just as much as people influence ice—and what all of us can do to move into a future with healthy glaciers and healthy communities.

Dr. M Jackson’s lecture is the Kim T. Adamson Lecture for 2021. The event is free and open to the public—no tickets are required. Visit http://www.westminstercollege.edu/adamson to register.

The Kim T. Adamson Lecture in International Studies is an annual endowed lecture established at Westminster College in 2001 to bring major figures in international studies, military history, and related fields to campus to deliver relevant public lectures and conduct seminars.

As the world becomes increasingly globalized, complicated issues face us every day. The lectures attempt to help people consider and navigate some of these challenging questions. The lecturers are drawn from a pool of scholars, writers, and thinkers without regard to ethnic, religious, or ideological considerations.

The annual lecture is open to the public without charge. The lecture series is funded through the proceeds of the Kim T. Adamson Endowment, a gift from Kim T. Adamson, alumna and longtime friend and supporter of Westminster College.
