Just a short post to log and share a really nice video. Titled ‘What Color is a Glacier?‘, it is a submission for a student context run by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), a ‘nonprofit organization of geophysicists, consisting of over 61,000 members from over 146 countries’.
The challenge was to create videos that: 1) highlight an aspect of Earth and space science in an entertaining way for a non-scientific audience; 2) tell an autobiographical story of an interesting geophysical career path; or 3) perform a song or skit on Earth or space science subjects. With the contest closed (other entrants here) I thought I would share the video that really struck a chord with me, particularly as I’m currently deep into colour related theory and practice.
What I like about this is the recognition that an object or entity we believe to have a certain colour actually, when viewed through different perspectives, can be perceived to exist with a range of different colours.
