From Reindeer to Rainier
Celebrate Earth Day with us! Come see our multimedia presentation that explores how three Nordic communities are adjusting to climate change. Learn about volunteer glacier monitors in Iceland, Sámi reindeer herdsmen from Norway and fishermen of the North Atlantic. Then, bring it all home in a discussion with local climate experts: Cliff Mass, a UW atmospheric scientist regularly heard on KUOW’s Weekday and author of the forthcoming book The Weather of the Pacific Northwest, Nate Mantua, a research scientist with the Climate Impacts Group, and Jessica Coven of Climate Solutions who works to ensure strong policies are passed and implemented. The evening’s discussion will be moderated by Chip Jenkins, the superintendent for North Cascades National Park, the most glaciated region in the lower 48 states and a harbinger of climate change in the Pacific Northwest.
This event is sponsored by North Cascades Institute. Other co-sponsors include REI, Glazer’s Camera and the Nordic Heritage Museum, where you can visit our educational display through May 4.
