With receding glaciers, increasing ocean acidification, and a commitment to renewable energy, Iceland is both experiencing the ongoing impacts of climate change and sitting at the cutting edge of the development of new ideas and innovative solutions. This summer, dive into climate issues and climate science with professionals in the field. Along the way, experience the wonders of Iceland: trek on glaciers, soak in thermal pools, and hike to soaring waterfalls. Return home with a better understanding of atmospheric carbon, carbon capture technologies, and the career possibilities in renewable energy, power distributions, environmental policy, and more.
