Ice Part Two; Peru, Too

A short posting today about a story airing this weekend on CBS Sunday Morning. It's another take on ice (you might remember I did a story in early February pegged to ice in a culinary sense), and this time it's tied to a new Nova/National Geographic special airing next week entitled "Extreme Ice." Photographer James Balog has spent the past two years capturing climate change in "real time" via 27 time-lapse cameras in places like Greenland, Iceland, Alaska and Montana. We also talk to Jim White from the University of Colorado as he analyzes ice core samples and explains how Balog's dramatic photos can provide illumination even for a science community that often gets too fixated on numbers. I hope you'll be watching.

And late next week I'm off to Lima, Peru, for a couple of stories that will air on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Don't want to say too much right now, but once the stories are edited I'll write more about the content and the upcoming air date.

In the meantime, stay connected.
