Antarctic Lecture- John Weller
November 20, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
John B. Weller, an internationally acclaimed photographer, filmmaker and author, invites you to journey above and below the ice in Antarctica. He will explain how his efforts to protect the Ross Sea, Antarctica inspired a global coalition of organizations, scientists, diplomats, and more than a million people, and helped train world leaders from the White House to the Kremlin. Weller’s photographs of the Ross Sea became the face of Antarctic conservation efforts worldwide. Twelve years of work came to fruition in 2016 when diplomats from 24 countries and the EU adopted the Ross Sea Marine Protected Area- the first large-scale international marine protected area and the largest MPA in the world.
A lecture series held once a month through the academic year discussing life and work ‘on the ice’ with invited Antarctic researchers. These lectures are located at the Poudre River Library District – Old Town Library at 201 Petersen Street, Fort Collins, CO from 7-8pm.
