Glacial Balance Screening - Ottawa - September 19th!

Hello everyone,

ehPECS, the Canadian National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) & Daltonic Films are proud to screen Glacial Balance as part of the 2nd Polar Film Fest. This is a documentary about a journey along the spine of the Andes mountain range, from Colombia to Argentina. Expect to learn about the science behind what is happening in the natural world and what may happen in the future, and the lives of those who are first affected by the dwindling tropical glacier reserve.

The screening of the film will be September 19th in SMD125 from 6:00 - 7:45 PM, followed by a Q & A session with glaciologists from 8:00 - 9:00 PM.

** FREE PIZZA WILL BE PROVIDED **

Our expert glaciologists can answer any of your questions:

• Dr. Luke Copland - University of Ottawa
• Dr. Derek Mueller - Carleton University
• Brittany Main - University of Ottawa
• Anna Crawford - Carleton University

Free event and open to the public! RSVP and event info can be found here.

Come and learn about glaciers and ask any questions you may have! This is an event taking place during the International Polar Week 2017 celebration.

Thanks and hope to see everyone there!
