Funding

World View of Global Warming is privately funded. It is a project under the Blue Earth Alliance and enjoys 501(c)3 tax status. I am grateful, professionally and personally, to those who have generously supported my work:

• The Wiancko Family Fund is the major benefactor for World View of Global Warming.  This support continued in 2004.

• The Aveda Corporation provided funding for my photography in Nunavut Canada in 2004.

• In 2000, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) began supporting the project through exhibit production and contracts for photography.

• Publication support from Discover magazine was offered by Steve Petranek, editor, beginning in April 1999.

• Travel to Antarctica and Arctic research sites in Alaska was provided by the National Science Foundation through the Media Office and the Office of Polar Programs.

• Other support has been received from  Mr. Zach Franks,  Mr. Tom Campion,  The Packard Foundation (for coral reef reporting), the Philip Hyde award of the North American Nature Photography Assn., and many magazines and organizations who have paid fees for use of the photographs and public presentations. I especially thank the American Association for the Advancement of Science for use of their exhibit space at the Washington headquarters, the Science Museum of Minnesota; and International Wildlife Magazine, John Nuhn and Jon Fisher, editors.

• My documentation of climate change science in Costa Rica was funded by One World Journeys, as part of their series on photographers' natural history documentation projects. Their report on this work, including education and reference material on climate change, is called "Mercury Rising."

• Funding for travel to meetings and presentations has been generously provided by Yale University, The Nature Conservancy, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation.

• University of California Press will publish a book based on this project, and their support allowed a great deal of new photography in 2004-5.

And for Blue Earth Alliance: Phil Borges, Natalie Fobes, Julee Geyer and David Johnson
