Abstract or Description

Embodied and proximate experiences of cryospheric environments are often pitted against the more abstract realms of climate science, especially those associated with remote sensing, laboratory analysis and computational modelling. In this article I argue that knowledge of ice must be poly-perspectival and relational. Experiences from the field actively shape scientific insights and provide important contextual understandings of how the work was carried out and the ways in which measurements may have been arrived at and verified. This in turn elicits an ethical plea and methodological prompt as to how technical modes of sensing of ice could be further integrated into sociocultural assemblies especially those involving local knowledge traditions and the embodied experiences of living and working on ice.
