For more than two decades, I have worked in glacier landscapes across the Arctic, Antarctic, Iceland, Greenland, and beyond, studying how ice changes—and how those changes reshape lives, communities, and futures.
My work began in science, but it has always reached toward story. Glaciers are not only physical systems. They are memory, water, risk, place, culture, and warning. They reveal how people make sense of transformation when the world they know begins to change.
Today, I work across research, books, television, public speaking, National Geographic expeditions, and advisory roles to help people understand our changing planet with clarity, wonder, and hope.
I believe science should make us more curious.
I study glaciers not simply because they are melting, but because they hold stories about who we are, where we've been, and where we're going.
I believe our greatest challenge isn't understanding climate change.
It is understanding how people make sense of our shared changing world.
Everything I do—research, writing, speaking, expeditions, and film—is an invitation to look more closely, ask better questions, and discover wonder in the systems that shape our lives.
I believe in you, me, and the possibility of our futures on this planet.
