Heartwork: The work driven by a deeper purpose.
The Decolon-ice-ation of Glaciology:
It all begins with an idea.
Glaciology remains deeply intertwined with Western colonial legacies, shaped by narratives of conquest, exploitation, and extraction. This project reimagines glacial landscapes by exploring their significance through Indigenous epistemologies, environmental histories, socio-political systems, and academic paradigms. Through a relational perspective, glaciers are viewed as participants of a dynamic web of relations with life, rock, water, physical forces, and anthropogenic change. This work probes our positionality and responsibilities as researchers, acknowledging the lands that sustain our livelihood and the environments that animate our work. Drawing from critical theory, Indigenous value systems, community-engaged methodologies, and knowledge co-production, I propose a paradigm shift rooted in relational accountability, reciprocity, and resurgence. Intended to be adaptable, the concepts remain relevant in contexts marked by Indigenous erasure, uninhabitance, and colonial motives. By interrogating and challenging how dominant narratives of power, place, and positionality shape glaciological knowledge, this project prioritizes a transformative approach that integrates accountability, embodiment, and relationality to encourage a more resilient, inclusive, and ethically grounded practice of cryospheric research.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
