THE OCEANS’ MANY WATERS - can we hear the stories that they tell?

Sammendrag

With: Territorial Agency (John Palmesino and AnnSofi Rönnskog), Daniela Zyman and Markus Reymann; Guests: Britt Kramvig, writer, researcher and professor in the Department of Tourism and Northern Studies at the UiT Arctic University of Norway; Carlos Manuel Duarte, Marine ecologist, professor of marine science at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Mentors: Louise Carver and Barbara Casavecchia; Ocean Fellows: Alexandra Boghosian; Nchongayi Christantus Begealawuh; Pietro Consolandi; Elisa Giuliano; Ghost in the Field; Fiona Middleton; Joe Riley; Pietro Scammacca. Earth’s two ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, together contain enough water to raise global sea level by ~65 m, more than enough to significantly alter human life on earth. The ice sheets both control and respond to global climate, and are especially responsive to changes in the atmosphere and the ocean. Over the last 2.5 million years, the ice sheets have advanced and retreated in a relatively periodic cycle of ice ages. We live in an interglacial age, which is characterized by smaller ice sheets and a relatively stable climate. The Holocene began about 11,700 years ago when the large ice sheet in the northern hemisphere began to rapidly collapse. Only ancestral myths and stories reflect the human experiences during that time when the climate warmed and sea level rose. As we think about the future in a warming world, Ice Worlds call our attention. “The unprecedented oceanographic and meteorological changes in the Arctic over several decades have been explored through ice and geological records from the polar regions, lending the region a special status as emblem of the Anthropocene”.1 Britt Kramvig and her co-researchers point to the assemblage of political and ethical questions that are to be re-examined and re-situated in order to straddle the conflicted and porous concepts of “nature,” emerging from the Anthropocene
