Eyes on Climate Change and The Arctic With Kieran Mulvaney

Live Streamed and In Person, Sliding Scale

April 7th, 2022, 7:00PM - 8:30PM

Location Change: now at The Nature Museum

With a warming climate, what does this look like right now in our coldest regions and how can awareness help shape important action for the planet? Join us for a special opportunity to hear a first-hand experience of this fascinating and changing landscape. Award-winning author, activist, and exploratory journalist, Kieran Mulvaney will take us on an adventure through the arctic, sharing some of his incredible photos and thoughtful testimony of the raw arctic climate.

Mulvaney is a frequent contributor to National Geographic, The Guardian, and The Washington Post Magazine, and has written for such outlets as BBC Wildlife, E Magazine, New Scientist, New Internationalist, and Oryx. He also blogged for several years for Discovery News. He's written many important and insightful books including At the Ends of the Earth: A History of the Polar Regions, The Great White Bear: A Natural and Unnatural History of the Polar Bear, and the upcoming Arctic Passages. He was the founding director of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, was an oceans specialist for Greenpeace, and was Senior Adviser to SeaWeb.

Mulvaney has traveled widely in the Arctic and sub-arctic: to the North Pole and through the Northwest Passage; in the “polar bear capital of the world”; to Greenland, Iceland, Arctic Russia and Inupiat Eskimo villages in Alaska. In this talk, he discusses his travels, the changes that are spreading rapidly throughout the Arctic, and what they mean for the region and the rest of the world.
