SUMMARY:Rivers of Ice: Three Centuries of Glacial Science
LOCATION:Hirshland Exhibition Gallery\, Rare and Manuscript Collections\, 
 2B Kroch Library\, 2B Carl A. Kroch Library\, Cornell University Ithaca\,
  NY 14853
DESCRIPTION:Spanning more than three centuries of exploration\, the Cornel
 l University Library exhibition Rivers of Ice traces the evolving study o
 f glaciers through rare books\, illustrations\, maps\, and photographs. F
 rom eighteenth-century descriptions of Alpine and Icelandic snowfields to
  modern analytical techniques\, items on view reveal how scientists\, exp
 lorers\, and photographers have studied glaciers to better understand Ear
 th’s geological and climate history. Covering about 10 percent of Earth’s
  land and storing 70 percent of its fresh water\, glaciers have become ke
 y indicators of climate change. Drawing from the library’s Rare and Manus
 cript Collections\, the exhibition features photographs from James Balog’
 s Extreme Ice Survey (2007–2022)\, along with items from professor of geo
 graphy and geology Ralph Stockman Tarr’s pioneering expeditions to Greenl
 and and Alaska (1896–1911)\, highlighting Cornell University’s contributi
 ons to modern glaciology.\n\nRivers of Ice will be on view in the Divisio
 n of Rare and Manuscript Collections’ Hirshland Exhibition Gallery throug
 h August 2027. Rivers of Ice is part of a series of exhibits titled From 
 the Brink: Contributions to a Sustainable Future from across Cornell\, ho
 sted by unit libraries of Cornell University Library in partnership with 
 departments and groups on campus.\n\nThis exhibition is funded through th
 e generous support of the Stephen E. ’59 and Evalyn Edwards ’60 Milman Ex
 hibition Fund and the Richard N. Sukenik Fund for Excellence in Pho\n\nht
