On Friday, March 1st, 2024, Glacier Lab members presented a panel at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference in Eugene, Oregon. The panel was titled “Glacier Justice, Climate Change, and Indigenous Communities in the Pacific Northwest,” and the presentations covered research from two Just Futures Institute Initiatives managed by Glacier Lab director Mark Carey—the Indigenous Lifeways Initiative and the Ice, Society, and Climate Justice Initiative. Presenters on this panel included undergraduate students, Masters students, PhD students, and faculty, demonstrating a great diversity of ideas and research from the Glacier Lab. The research for these two initiatives and the various Glacier Lab presentations was funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation.
