Founded in 2007 by photographer James Balog, the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) is an innovative, long-term project to reveal the impact of climate change on the Earth's polar and alpine landscapes. EIS imagery preserves a visual legacy of the changing landscape.

For three decades, James Balog has been a leader in photographing and interpreting the natural environment. He has been honored with many awards, including the Heinz Award, the Missouri School of Journalism's Honor Medal for Distinguished Service, and the American Geophysical Union Presidential Citation for Science and Society. The Extreme Ice Survey, the most wide-ranging, ground-based photographic study of glaciers ever conducted, is featured in the highly acclaimed documentaryChasing Ice (2012). Balog has produced eight photo books based on his research, most recently ICE: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers(2012).

This event was part of the Fall 2014 programming series ICP Talks: Climate Change
