Documenting Climate Change: David Breashears and the Vanishing Glaciers of the Himalaya
David Breashears, the photographer behind the Rivers of Ice show will discuss climate change and the glaciers of the Himalayas.
When:
October 4, 2010 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Where
USC’s US-China Institute and USC Annenberg’s Center on Communication Leadership & Policy welcome award-winning filmmaker, photographer and mountaineer David Breashears for a presentation of his breathtaking photographs of the Himalaya and a discussion about global climate change. Breashears has reached the summit of Mount Everest five times and directed the acclaimed IMAX documentary Everest. He founded the Glacier Imaging Research Project, which, he writes “has retraced the steps of some of the world’s greatest mountain photographers as they took pictures — many of them not previously published or displayed — over the past 110 years across the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau. I then returned to those same vantage points and took photographs that bear witness to the rapid warming of the Himalaya and the swift retreat of its glaciers … These then-and-now pictures have a powerful effect on the viewer, one that I hope will bring home the reality — and serious consequences — of global warming.”
A reception follows the program. RSVP requested. To RSVP, email uschina@usc.edu
