Soundings: Making Culture at Sea

The Spencer Museum commissioned Terry Evans to create a photographic series as part of a research project with KU’s Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS). Their research focused on the Jakobshavn Glacier in west Greenland to understand ice thickness, information critical to monitoring and predicting sea level rise. Evans’s images include CReSIS workspaces and aerial views of the glacier’s surfaces. Her artistic research contributes to the multiple methods and perspectives for knowing the Arctic.
