Rising seas threaten people & the planet.
Arête Glacier Initiative
aims to measure and mitigate the risks of catastrophic sea-level rise.
Time is running out to understand the risks of rising seas - and then act.
"All of us must face the fact that sea levels will continue to rise, with major implications for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. However, facing that reality is not the same as accepting it. We must start now to combine emissions reduction with careful, responsible exploration of new options to slow sea-level rise and prevent worst-case scenarios.”
Dr. Brent Minchew & Dr. Colin Meyer
in The GuardianWe know collapsing glaciers cause sea levels to rise - and that could cost us trillions of dollars and displace hundreds of millions of people. But our projections aren’t precise enough, and our solutions aren’t ready. We aim to fund and accelerate research to inform the public, engage decision makers, and increase investments in Antarctic science.
Top experts on a mission.
Arête is leading sea-level rise forecasting and glacier stabilization efforts through coordinated scientific research and partnerships.
Our founding team includes scientists who have spent their careers studying glaciers and sea-level rise. The broader team includes experts in fundraising, public policy, and program management.
