Glacial
Balance is an educational DVD that highlights
global interconnectedness, and human adaptation to
rapidly changing environmental conditions. It
encourages learners not only to develop their
understanding of climate change, but also to link
more closely to human activity and experience,
including geographical processes of drought,
famine, and migration. In connecting students to
distant places and raising awareness of people's
experiences of climate change impacts 'on the
ground', Glacial Balance can promote reflection
and discussion on what melting glaciers in South
America can teach us about wider impacts of
climate change, and our responses to these on
personal and societal levels.
Aside from its availability on DVD and VOD, the
film will have three free screenings at the
European Geosciences Union in Vienna:
Mon, 28 April, 12:15-14:00
Thu, 01 May, 17:15-19:00
Fri, 02 May, 10:30-12:00
