Cafe Scientifique: Iain Cameron, The Vanishing Ice - Glasgow Sauchiehall St

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 30 peer-reviewed papers on the subject and 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.

In his talk he will cover the history of snow patch research, as well as look at the locations where the longest patches survive, and the conditions necessary for them to persist so long.

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.
