![]() ![]() This paper is about looking at change in the Cordillera Blanca glaciers by comparing GLIMS data to historical data. World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) – established in 1986 but since then glaciers became part of the Global Climate Observation System (GCOS) and the Global Hierchical Observation Strategy (GHOST) which are both programs operated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Intergovernmetal Oceanographic Commission (IOC), the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). I was able to access the NSIDC glacier viewer though and will look at this further. NSIDC has a great graphical interface (GISMO) for obtaining data but I need to be on Windows to use. There are also places in the metadata table for each glacier for error such as absolute and relative. The GLIMS glacier database is an extention of the World Glacier Inventory (WGI) that is meant to add snapshots over time. If glaciers split there is a field in the database table to show parent glacier as well. Main product of project is the Glacier Database which can be accessed online. Coordinated by the University of Arizona. Data is received by the Global Land Ice Management from Space (GLIMS) Project team at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder. Goal is to use multispectral satellite imagery to inventory glaciers and understand change in terms of climate and other env. “Stewards” are responsible for individual glaciers. Each center is responsible for a certain subregion. Each institution is called a regional center. 60 institutions world wide with goal to inventory world’s estimated 160,000 glaciers. Beyond Boundaries sheds new light on how synergistic associations among disciplines can inspire scientific inquiry, artistic imaginations, and civic engagement-and-discourse for sustainability.The GLIMS geospatial glacier Database: A new tool for studying glacier change. ![]() Beyond Boundaries, a renaissance that re-envisions the relationship between ecological arts and computational thinking to contextualize threats to sustainability at regional and global scales. We establish an integrated framework combining Earth remote sensing satellite time-series, half a decade of ecological arts, and a public exhibition to curate the symbiotic relationship between arts and science. In today’s Anthropocene era, human-and-climate induced sustainability challenges-lobal temperature change, climate-induced displacements, environmental injustice, extraction of natural reserves-threaten the sustainability of our planet and endanger the livelihood of vulnerable communities across the planet. ![]() Vision: Towards Symbiotic Relationship Between Ecological Arts and Computational Thinking for Sustainability The fusion of ecological arts and computations to sense the presence of absence on the planet Earth By Neil Gaikwad(Community-centered AI Researcher and Environmental Artist)Īrs Electronica 2020 the Festival of Arts, Technology, and Society, "Kepler’s Gardens" CAMBRIDGEĬitation: Gaikwad "Beyond Boundaries: Towards Symbiotic Relationship Between Ecological Arts and Computational Thinking for Sustainability" Conference Companion Publication of the 2020 on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing. ![]()
