We meet weekly in the Glacier Modeling Lab to learn from each other and from external sources.

Goals and themes:

• Build team camaraderie – put time into our personal relationships within the lab
• Grow our glaciology brains by reading and discussing papers and seeing each other present research in progress
• Spur research output by presenting results to each other even at early dates, before results are fully ready
• Discuss important current issues in science, glaciology, EDI, academia, industry, policy, or other (unlimited)

Fall 2025

We will have group meeting every Tuesday, 1:00-2:00.

We will have a writing retreat every other Monday, 1:00-4:00.
