The glaciers of the Andes, Patagonia and New Zealand are among those in the world losing ice most quickly. This event looked at projections for the future at different emissions choices, and implications for water resources and local populations. Main Presenters: Dr. Lauren Vargo, Research Fellow at the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington/Te Herenga Waka; Dr. Georg Kaser, IPCC, Professor Emeritus, University of Innsbruck; and Dr. Heidi Sevestre, Director of Outreach at the International Cryosphere and Climate Initiative.
