Abstract

Disappearing glaciers are one of the most evident signals of climate change of the current period in Earth's history, the Anthropocene. In this article, we discuss the side effects of the glacier melt from a biocultural standpoint, moving from the Southern European Alps to a global context. Specifically, we highlight what we are losing from a cultural and naturalistic perspective but also, paradoxically, what we could “gain” if we were able to understand more deeply, and with an interdisciplinary approach, glacial dynamics and their role for human society. Glaciers can teach us several stories, but we are quickly approaching the last chance to listen to them.

Contributor Notes

Daniel Gaudio works as an assistant professor in bioarchaeology and forensic science at the Department of Archaeology of Durham University (UK). He studied skeletal remains from different time periods, including the Neolithic, ancient Egypt and Rome, High Middle Ages, Risorgimento and from conflict contexts such as World War I. His research focuses on conflict archaeology and new methodologies in several subfields of bioanthropology and forensic science, including age at death, skeletal trauma, and taphonomy. email: daniel.gaudio@durham.ac.uk.

Mauro Gobbi works as a researcher in insect ecology at the MUSE-Science Museum of Trento (Italy). His research activity deals with the effects of climate, and land use, changes on alpine biodiversity, with a specific focus on the ecology of glacial habitats. He took part in several scientific expeditions on high-altitude areas of the European Alps, Andes, Pyrenees, and Scandinavia to investigate the effect of glacial retreat on cryophilic biodiversity. email: mauro.gobbi@muse.it ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1704-4857
