Since May 3rd, 2023, the project \u201cTestigos de Hielo\u201d <\/em>(ice cores taken from glaciers of the mountain range) is taking place on the esplanade of the Cultural Park of Valpara\u00edso<\/em>. This initiative was awarded through the fund Ciencia P\u00fablica<\/em> of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation and developed by Campus Creativo,<\/em> the Faculty of Engineering, and the Vice Rectory of Research and Doctorate of the Universidad Andr\u00e9s Bello<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition that takes place on the esplanade of the Cultural Park allows the visitor to have a great sensory experience (samples of images, videos, sounds, and information). Its installation of great artistic, scientific, and technological standard gives visitors the opportunity to understand a part of the world of glaciology, which focuses on ice cores, and the climate change in the Valpara\u00edso<\/em> region and Chile.<\/p>\n

This is a high-impact event since it brings science to public places, where the diversity of visitors and cultures of different parts of the region and the country converge. Glaciology is a scientific discipline that studies glaciers, glaciations, and the cryosphere, in which the monitoring and measurements of glaciers are obtained on-site and\/or remotely. Therefore, this event allows to show one of the processes and methodologies for studying the glaciers through ice cores.<\/p>\n

These activities are of great relevance for citizens who aren\u2019t part of the world of glaciology, as they allow to present methods, terms, and scientific materials to kids, teenagers, young people, and families. This exhibition probably is and will be a life-changing experience for the visitor. Also, it shows a distant world from people such as the mountains, glaciers, and the cryosphere, but so close at the same time since everything that happens there impacts us in one way or another.<\/p>\n

My visit to this event has surprised me by the innovation, creativity, and work behind this event about ice cores. Without a doubt, this is a high-value cultural and social event that you should visit.<\/p>\n

The event <\/span> Testigos de Hielo <\/a>can be visited until July 28 at the Cultural Park of <\/span>Valpara\u00edso<\/i>. For more information, visit the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Cultural Park of Valpara\u00edso<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
