The Greenland Ice Sheet, one of the largest ice masses on Earth, plays a vital role in regulating global sea levels. By studying sediment cores from beneath the ice, scientists can uncover clues about how the ice sheet has responded to past climate changes and what these patterns can tell us about the future.

If the ice sheet covering Greenland melted, global sea levels would rise 21 feet, profoundly impacting our planet. How, why, and when could this happen? A few years ago, scientists found lost sediment from a secret sub-ice Cold War base in the Arctic from the 1960s that holds clues to a time when the Greenland Ice Sheet was gone. The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice chronicles the discovery of this sediment and the critical implications of the science to our future.

Director/producer, Kathy Kasic, a former Montana State University professor, is a scientist filmmaker, specializing in documentaries about the polar regions. For The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice, Kasic was a Principal Investigator on the National Science Foundation grant and worked with the participant scientists for the last four years in Denmark, the US, Brussels, and Greenland.

Kasic will be in attendance and will take part in a panel after the film with Dr. Cathy Whitlock, Regents Professor Emerita of Earth Science at Montana State University and lead author of the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment, and other local experts.
