Listening to Ice
Listening to Ice documents the activities of a small team of researchers from India and the UK who made their way to Drang Drung Glacier in the Zanskar Range of the northeastern Himalayas in 2021 to study the impacts of climate change. Through fieldwork to measure the mass balance changes of the glacier, sonic instrumentation to listen to the internal dynamics of melting ice, and situated "listening" workshops with local villagers, they set out to monitor and record the materials transformations of this receding glacier as well as engage with affected communities.
