Zoom Program: Oregon’s Vanishing Glaciers

7:30 p.m. Brief general meeting followed by program: Oregon’s Vanishing Glaciers

Our January 11 speaker will be Dr. Anders Carlson, president and co-founder of the Oregon Glaciers Institute.  Dr. Carlson fell in love with glaciers as an undergraduate student while conducting research at Matanuska Glacier in Alaska, and has spent 20+ years staying them in the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Svalbard, Scandinavia, Patagonia and Antarctica. Dr. Carlson’s talk for ONC will focus on new findings by the Oregon Glaciers Institute based on their comprehensive census of glaciers in Oregon. How many glaciers existed in Oregon and how many remain today? What caused these changes? The discussion will close on a note about the future and what can be done to preserve Oregon’s icy environment.

The link will be sent to members one week before the event. Please remember to renew your membership!
