# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Receding Glaciers - Vanishing Glaciers
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 May, 2025 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation and proclaimed 21 March the annual World Day for Glaciers. Related initiatives are highlighting the importance of glaciers worldwide, including their role in freshwater supplies and sea level rise, and the increasing threats of glacial hazards, while illustrating the impacts of climate change on the  critical role that glaciers play in our Earth’s systems.
Professor Hester Jiskoot will present the trends and future projections in receding glaciers and ice sheets worldwide and the related implications for humanity.  Examples of vanishing glaciers will be exposed, as well as ways to slow down the melt and to ultimately preserve glaciers. She will also speak to the sheer beauty of the cryosphere and the importance of snow and ice for the Canadian identity, all while mourning several iconic Canadian glaciers that are now drowning in their own tears. The presentation will be richly illustrated with photos.
