Why We All Need “Bright Ice”: Bright Ice Initiative’s innovative, local and collaborative approach to reducing climate risk with Dr. Leslie Field, Bright Ice Initiative Date/Time: Tuesday, June 17, 6-7 pm Pacific Time This talk will describe the work of Bright Ice Initiative (http://www.brighticeinitiative.org) and its focus on increasing the reflectivity of ice to slow the disastrous impact of glacial melting. Bright Ice Initiative works in regions of critical need to codevelop and evaluate solutions with and for communities living under the greatest threat. By preserving and restoring reflectivity to vital glacial regions, the pace of temperature rise can be reduced, potentially lessening sea level rise while protecting ecosystems and species from catastrophic loss.
