The Vanishing Ice
Iain Cameron
Join us for a festive evening of science and storytelling as we explore the fascinating world of Scotland’s enduring snow patches with well-known snow patch researcher and author Iain Cameron.
Since he was a child, Iain has been fascinated with relics of winter persisting on Scotland’s hills from one year to another. He has authored almost thirty peer-reviewed papers on the subject, and written two books, most notably The Vanishing Ice. Iain has appeared many times on national TV and radio, as well as in all the UK’s national newspapers.
Iain will discuss the history of snow patch research, look at the locations where the longest patches survive and the conditions needed for them to persist.
Whether you’re a snow enthusiast, a lover of the outdoors, or simply curious, this is a perfect way to kick off the festive season.
