NASA collaborates with artist to depict melting glaciers

SEP 19, 2016
Physics Today

New York Times : Artist and photojournalist Justin Guariglia will be going along for the ride as part of NASA’s Oceans Melting Greenland mission. Guariglia has already captured a number of aerial landscape photographs of Greenland’s glaciers and sea ice, which he took from a military transport plane window on a 2015 NASA flight. He has since turned those images into three-dimensional representations through the use of ink-jet printing. The purpose is to find new and inventive ways to present the effects of climate change to the public. Some of Guariglia’s images are set to go on display in 2017 in a solo exhibition at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. Guariglia will be going on more low-altitude flights to Greenland through 2020.
