How to make your EGU24 presentation accessible!

EGU Geolog | 27 March, 2024
Most people spend a lot of time and effort making their presentation engaging and impactful, but how much time to you spend making sure it is accessible!? An accessible presentation takes into account the diverse backgrounds and abilities of the audience, to support a better understanding and of the message and information you are trying to share. This is particularly important for scientific research, where presenters need to be confident that their research is being communicated in a manner that is both scientifically sound and accessible; regardless of the barriers that will naturally exist, be they language, cultural or a disability.

Great Glacier Retreat 1965-2023 Leads to formation of “Great Lake”

Great Glacier is the largest outlet glacier of the Stikine Icefield feeding the Stikine River. The name came from the large expanse of the glacier in the lowlands of the Stikine River during the late 19th and early 20th century, that has now become a large lake. In 2023 I worked on a signage project for the Great Glacier Provincial Park with Hailey Smith, BC Park Ranger, documenting the changes in this glacier particularly since 1914.
