You are invited to come experience "At The Sea Ice Edge", an art + science collaboration with artist Jill Pelto designed to highlight research from NASA’s SASSIE (Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge) project. In collaboration with members of the
SASSIE science team, Jill has created a series of four paintings that convey the science of SASSIE and the impact of climate change on the Arctic, with each piece directly incorporating environmental data. This event is a debut of this collection of artwork
and will include a seminar followed by a reception. </div>

During the seminar, chief scientists Pete Gaube and Kyla Drushka will introduce SASSIE, Jill will present her artwork and creative process, and researchers Carlyn Schmidgall and Marie Zahn will share the scientific context behind the data featured in the art.
The reception will showcase Jill’s pieces alongside opportunities to interact with SASSIE scientists and hands-on displays from the field campaign. </div>

Jill is an Artist and a Science Communicator. Her work focuses on communicating human-environment connections. She incorporates scientific data directly into her paintings to engage broad audiences using climate and conservation graphs. Her work has been featured
on the cover of TIME, at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, and as a cover for the North Cascade Conservation Council journal. Jill also serves as the art director of North Cascades Glacier Climate Project. She’s passionate about outreach and
collaboration and works with students and adults around the country in creating their own data-art.</div>
