    How do glaciers affect their landscape? What difference would the loss of a glacier make? Climate change could cause the loss of half our planet’s glaciers by 2100, with consequences going beyond the inevitable rise in sea level.
    Jonathan Carrivick is a researcher in earth surface processes and landforms in cold-climate environments, such as Greenland and the Alps. He will talk about his research work on glaciers, and why glacier ice is at the frontline of the ongoing climate crisis.
