Junior SeaKeepers Webinar 6: Sinking Glaciers, Rising Oceans with Dr. Bruce Molnia

On January 20th, 2026, The International SeaKeepers Society hosted our sixth webinar experience of the 2025-26 Junior SeaKeepers Program. For this webinar, we were immensely grateful to be rejoined by Dr. Bruce Molnia, Research Geologist and Climate Scientist. His research centers around glacier evolution analyses in response to climate change through repeat photographic series. Dr. Molnia’s numerous publications visually address unique issues on the significant impact climate change has forced on our surrounding environment. Witnessing the rapid decline of global glaciers over the years deeply shocked and saddened our students and team, inspiring a strong desire to take action.

By attending webinars led by partner research scientists, our Junior SeaKeepers have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the diversity of work that exists in the marine conservation realm. Additionally, students get direct access to accomplished professionals and can see the advancements in the field that are the result of research happening every day all over the world. Through speaking with Dr. Molnia about his research and personal history, we hope that our JSKs were able to collect some inspiration for both their research projects and their professional futures moving forward. We want to give a huge thank you to Dr. Molnia for taking the time to share his extensive research experience and passions with our JSKs.
