Glacier loss and increasing instability are making the work of exploratory mountaineers ever more hazardous and difficult\, but the challenges are no less acute for those living in the valleys beneath these crumbling giants. \nThis year’s Mount Everest Foundation lecture asks what the future holds for mountaineers and mountain communities\, drawing on the experiences of young alpinists and pioneering mountain scientists. \nGeorge Ponsonby and James Price’s ascent of Aikache Chhok (6673m) in Pakistan was hailed as one of the most impressive mountaineering achievements of 2025\, a daring climb that pushed the pair to the limit over nine days on the mountain. As two climbers at the very start of their careers\, they exemplify how a new generation is choosing to approach high altitude climbing. \nJoining them on stage will be Professor Rachel Carr and Sonam Rinzin who will present their groundbreaking research on glacial lake outburst floods and the growing risks they pose to mountain communities. Drawing on their work in Bhutan\, the pair will explain how remote villages might adapt to this growing threat. \nJoin us for an evening of inspiration and insight\, pulled direct from the frontlines of mountain exploration.

Global ice cover is thought to have been attained relatively quickly\, over thousands of years\, because of the albedo effect – that is\, the more ice there is\, the more sunlight is reflected back into space\, and vice versa. After reaching the equator\, ice sheets persisted there for up to 58 million years. Understanding how our planet could have plunged into such extreme cold is still the subject of intense debate\, but there is a problem. Sedimentary records of the moment when ice first reached low latitudes are absent everywhere on Earth\, or so we once thought. \nOff the west coast of Scotland lies a chain of tiny islands called the Garvellachs that may hold some of the clues to a time in Earth’s history known evocatively as ‘Snowball Earth’. The islands host the only known demonstrably transitional record from underlying carbonate rocks of the Tonian period into glacial rocks of the Cryogenian. Sedimentary observations of these late Tonian carbonates can be interpreted as deposition in warm tropical seas\, full of bacterial life\, before an observable transition into an increasingly frigid climate and the definitive movement of ice caps over the land; akin to seeing Greenland-scale ice caps descending on the Caribbean today. Elsewhere on Earth\, this pivotal transition into the Cryogenian period appears to have been removed by the erosive power of glaciation\, resulting in a missing time gap in the sedimentary record. However\, on the Garvellach\,s no such gap is found\, making it a truly unique location globally for Snowball Earth science. \nNew geochronological age constraints from the rocks on the Garvellachs show that they were deposited between 717 and 660 million years ago\, marking the first of two Snowball Earth glaciations in the Cryogenian. Armed with these new-age constraints and the unique preservation of the transition into this global glaciation\, these Scottish islands may prove integral for understanding how and why Earth descended into a Snowball Earth climate state\, whilst having ramifications for defining the geological timescale. \n  \nThis event is free to attend.

Plate tectonics was in its infancy\, data were scarce\, and ideas were still forming. Fast forward to today\, and we have decades of research\, complex datasets\, and sophisticated methods—and our science figures are starting to suffer under the weight of everything\, everywhere\, all at once. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Lucía Pérez-Díaz explores how the role of graphics in science is evolving\, and where it may have gone astray. Drawing (pun intended) on her perspective as a geoscientist and author-illustrator\, she examines how our figures may be falling short—failing not just to communicate clearly\, but to spark curiosity. This matters more than ever\, as science increasingly needs to reach beyond specialist circles and into communities that may meet it with indifference—or even distrust. \nWhen designing scientific figures\, accuracy is important – but so is empathy. Our visuals need to offer viewers a way in\, a path to follow\, and a clear destination. We need to think not only about what audiences can understand\, but what they’ll choose to engage with. From nostalgic 19th-century cross-sections to googly-eyed data plots\, this talk invites us to rethink how we draw science—and how we draw people in. Bring a pencil\, no better time to start than now. \nThis lecture is free to attend.
