EGU WEBINARS: Vanishing Glaciers with Harry Zekollari
Channel: European Geosciences Union
Date: 2021-12-17

Across the Earth mountain glaciers have been melting at an accelerating pace: ancient ice behemoths, some many thousands of years old, have shrunk or disappeared as the global climate warms at an unprecedented rate. In this webinar, EGU Committee Programmes Co-ordinator Simon Clark sat down to talk interview-style with Dr. Harry Zekollari, a glaciologist at the Université libre de Bruxelles and ETH Zurich. He asked about what is triggering the accelerated loss of glaciers, how glacier loss will impact communities, both as a resource and a natural hazard, and can we expect an ice-free future as the effects of climate change intensify?

The webinar concluded with an audience Q&A.

Harry Zekollari is a glaciologist with a specific interest in the evolution of mountain glaciers and ice caps under changing climatic conditions. Harry also engages in numerous outreach activities, including regular presentations in primary and secondary schools and interviews for television, radio, and newspaper and magazines; his work was featured in more than 600 newspapers and websites in over 60 countries.
