Expert Panel to Discuss "Chasing Ice"
On Sunday, April 21 from 3 – 6 pm, the Department of Geology and Geography will screen the award-winning documentary, “Chasing Ice” in Phipps Auditorium, Physical Science Building room 1205. This movie showcases James Balog’s stunning photography and efforts to document hard evidence that global warming is real and not just the mere bantering of political japes. With stunning imagery and unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime events captured by his cameras, James Balog provides considerable fuel for discussions of what is happening on and to our Earth. As such, the screening of “Chasing Ice” will be followed by a panel discussion of the ramifications of global warming. The panelists are members of EIU’s faculty and represent myriad disciplines, including meteorology, physics, economics and biology. These experts will debate topics related to the movie as well as entertain questions posed by members of the audience. While this is a theatrical release of the movie, the Department of Geology and Geography believes the movie’s message should be heard – as such, the documentary is being shown free of charge and everyone is welcome. Additionally, light food and beverages will be served.
