Book Lynn Martel

Glacier Presentations

Topics include:

  • 2025 has been designated the United Nations’ International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, and Lynn is a founding partner in the Canadian initiative. Countries around the world are coming together to recognize the importance and impacts of climate change on glaciers, snow, ice and their connection to downstream water resources. What does this mean in Canada?

  • Adventures on Ice - Canada is among few places in the world where skiers can traverse glaciers and icefields continuously for weeks, even months. How do they do it?

  • Peyto Glacier - the longest continuously studied glacier in North America. Scientists don’t only study the melt rate of glaciers, but what organisms live in the ice, how downstream communities are influenced by glaciers, and more. How do scientists study glaciers, and what are they learning?

  • Commerce from Ice - From mountaineering to helicopter skiing to tourism and even mining, Western Canada’s glaciers host a fascinating range of economic activities. What are some of the most interesting ones?

  • Creativity on Ice - For more than a century, artists, photographers, authors and filmmakers have created works inspired by Canada’s glaciers. What have they created from their inspiration?

Any of Lynn’s presentations can be crafted to combine any of these topics, and more.
