About the Speaker:

Dr. M Jackson is an acclaimed public speaker, glaciologist, geographer, and storyteller whose work illuminates the profound connections between people and ice. Her talks are highly visual and deeply personal, blending decades of fieldwork across Iceland, Alaska, South Georgia, and the Aleutians with reflections on climate change, storytelling, and what it means to live in a melting world.

Each presentation is an invitation to see glaciers not just as frozen rivers of ice, but as mirrors of our own human experience.
