Kilimanjaro: The Last Glacier

Work in progress by Ian van Coller

Climate change has become a common buzz-word, but the layman understanding of it is both rudimentary and intangible.  Ian van Coller intends to bridge the gap between art and science and transform this issue into a form we can grasp- literally.  Van Coller has received funding from the Montana State University for an artist's book and photo-project on the subject- Kilimanjaro:  the Last Glacier.  This August (2016) van Coller will join a team of scientists and researchers funded by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the National Geodetic Survey who are working to record as much significant data from the ice-sheets as possible.  This project is both a reflection on climate change and the study of deep time.
