Alfred University Professor of Anthropology and Public Health Robert Meyers will deliver the Oct. 14 Bergren Forum, "Greenland is Melting: Climate Change, Tourism, and Adaptation in the High Arctic."

Meyers writes: Greenland is all over the news lately regarding the climate crisis, but there's more to the picture than unprecedented global warming.” His talk will explore the complex issues that confront Greenland, a huge island land mass inhabited by few people.

The Bergren Forum, sponsored by the Division of Human Studies, is held at 12:10 p.m. each Thursday the University. It is being offered virtually via Zoom and will return to an in-person format once the university considers this sufficiently safe. The Zoom links can be obtained by e-mailing Marilyn Saxton.
