Studying Glaciers Around the World with Heïdi Sevestre

There’s one thing you need to know about Heidi: she loves ice! Ten years ago, while hiking from Chamonix to Zermatt, a mountain guide told her it was possible to spend her life studying glaciers, and she became a glaciologist. Through her studies and work, Heidi has had the chance to study glaciers around the world, from the French Alps to Greenland, from the Arctic to Antarctica. Today, she invests her time in science policy and science popularization. She believes that researchers like her have a duty to communicate our work and let the world know about the wonders of glaciers and their evolution with climate change. Heidi recently won the first Shackleton Medal for the protection of the polar regions.
