How will climate change reshape our landscapes, and the way we live in them? Climate scientist Sebastian Mernild and cultural geographer Emmy Laura Pérez Fjalland take up the question in a conversation about water, weather and nature in transition.
Denmark is surrounded by sea and criss-crossed by fjords, streams and lakes, and the talk looks at what happens to the land when the water changes. Mernild brings the big climatic connections into view, from ice and oceans to the atmosphere, while Fjalland zooms in on the local landscape and how people live with the changes around them. Writer and journalist Victor Boy Lindholm moderates, and the three explore how science and art can help us understand the world we live in.
Mernild is a professor of climate change and glaciology, and Fjalland is a cultural geographer, PhD and postdoc at Aarhus University who writes about landscape, environmental change and stories about our world. Lindholm co-wrote the book Isbogen with Mernild.
