Description
The Glacier's Essence explores the intersection of science and art through the lens of the world's melting glaciers. Swiss geophysicist Alfred de Quervain's groundbreaking research on the Glarner Claridengletscher, conducted in 1909 and 1912, laid the foundation for this unique project. Photographer Fridolin Walcher and artist Martin Stützle joined forces with scientists to capture the essence of glaciers through their work. The resulting photographs, drawings, and performances are a direct response to scientific facts, speaking to the senses and emotions. This book presents the latest research on glacier core drilling, art, and climate change, offering insights into the current state of this vital field. The contributors, including geographer Gabriela Schaepman-Strub, glaciologist Konrad Steffen, and climate physicist Thomas Stocker, provide a comprehensive overview of their work. The book also delves into the world of climate art, shedding light on the innovative projects of Stützle and Walcher.
