Art, culture and science meet to study climate change
Artist Zaria Forman joined NASA scientists in 2017 on Operation IceBridge . Operation IceBridge measures annual changes in the thickness of Greenland's ice sheet to better understand the global climate systems' effect on polar regions. The team's measurements enable them to calculate glacier discharge speeds that could predict increases in sea levels.
The artist photographs the ice sheet from above which then inspires her art.
National Geographic offers a shorter version (10:19) as part of their Short Film Showcase.
