Join us for this informative and entertaining Calgary Explorers Club Pub Night Presentation Thursday February 19th, 2026 at the Bowness Ratepayers Scout Hall

Dr. Criscitiello is a world-renowned ice core scientist and glaciologist, an advocate for gender equity in the sciences, a mother, and a high-altitude mountaineer. She is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Canadian Ice Core Lab at the University of Alberta, co-founder of Girls on Ice Canada*, and the recipient of the first PhD in glaciology ever conferred by MIT.

Her scientific work has taken her to ice caps across the globe — from Antarctica and Greenland to the Canadian High Arctic — including the summit of Canada’s highest peak, Mount Logan. Through ice-core chemistry, Dr. Criscitiello reconstructs the history of climate and glaciers in polar and high-alpine regions, documenting environmental change in landscapes now under extreme threat from climate change.

Dr. Criscitiello is a gifted storyteller. Her work has appeared in major film, print, and television projects, and her article Contraindications won a Banff Mountain Book Competition award in 2018.
