Moraines: Footprints of an Ice Age

Part II of "Glaciers: Their Power and Mysteries in Shaping Our Landscapes"
This work is the outgrowth of two summers spent in Svalbard, Norway, where Dr. Brigham-Grette of CNS's Department of Earth, Geographic, and Climate Sciences was conducting research into the Kronebreen, Kongsvegen and Kongsbreen glacier systems at the head of the Kongsfjord. Mark Goldner, a teacher at Roland Hayes School in Brookline, MA, joined Dr. Brigham-Grette in 2011 and 2021 as a teacher with PolarTREC. In 2021, Mr. Goldner took drone video and photography to assist in and document the research. Most of the video and photographs of glaciers in this video series are from that work. Brigham-Grette and Goldner want to acknowledge the legacy of retired Distinguished Professor Ross Powel (Northern Illinois University) in their work.
