Helheim Glacier, Greenland. Images from Landsat, panchromatic band, June & July 2023. Notice the large, dark colored icebergs breaking off en masse in the July '23. Ice calving does not normally happen this way at Helheim and may be due to excessive thinning of the glacier.

"These interactive works examine the ethical entanglements of tech and climate science — mapping where we stand (“You Are Here”) amidst hypothetical trajectories of apathy, denial, and systemic inertia." -Verse
