The Art of Ice Crystals and the Science of Ice Carving
Erin Pettit is an Asst. Professor of Geophysics at the UAF Department of Geology and Geophysics, and she is fascinated by the dynamic nature of frozen waterfalls and ice crystals. “Ice waterfalls are an ephemeral part of our landscape that often do not leave a trace of their existence when the winter ends. Even at temperatures as low as -40 or -30C, water can still flow within or under ice in streams and over waterfalls.”
Participants were able to see how thermal imagery can capture the hidden world frozen within ice waterfalls through hands on activities and demonstrations.
