Description
Capturing Glaciers: A History of Repeat Photography and Global Warming examines the powerful intersection of art, science, and environmental documentation through the lens of repeat photography. Authors Dani Inkpen and Paul S. Sutter trace how photographers have systematically revisited glacier sites across generations, creating compelling visual evidence of climate change before the modern climate science era.
The book demonstrates how repeat photographs serve as both scientific instruments and historical records, allowing readers to witness dramatic transformations in landscapes over decades and centuries. Through this visual methodology, glaciers become windows into understanding broader environmental change, while photographers emerge as crucial contributors to our knowledge of global warming. This innovative approach bridges the gap between traditional historical scholarship and contemporary climate science.
