This book brings together the perspectives of eminent and emerging scholars from fields as varied as science communication, art history, pop cultural studies, environmental studies, sciences studying ice and artists to explore the power of (popular) arts and aesthetics to communicate ice research and the urgency of environmental action. Examining the aesthetic strategies employed in images, (popular) visual fiction and narratives to convey meaning and awareness - and how they can be made fruitful for science communication - the project will generate new perspectives on how our collective environmental responsibility can be addressed and communicated across disciplines and divers audiences. In doing so, the volume will illuminate the cultural power of ice research and contribute to a better understanding of the cultural work that emerges from our ecological crisis.

Dr Anne Hemkendreis is a Lecturer at the research collaboration (SFB 948) Heroes - Heroizations - Heroism at the University of Freiburg (Germany). Her current book project examines the aesthetic and affective dimension of ice and snow in paintings, artistic performances and installations. Starting with the peak of the polar conquests around 1900, her project is dedicated to the development of snowscapes as an independent genre of art, the function of ice in contemporary feminist art and its agency in communicating climate change. Prior to this, Anne's PhD thesis explored the interior paintings of the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (Fink Verlag, 2015). Anne also worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Assistant at the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg of Greifswald, the Klassik Stiftung of Weimar and the Leuphana University of Lüneburg (all in Germany). She functioned as a Lecturer at different institutions, including the University of Arts in Berlin Dr Anna-Sophie Jürgens is Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Science Communication at the Australian National University exploring science in popular entertainment and pop culture.
