Fall 2023

Meeting time: Wednesdays 3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern time
Location: Hochstetter 439

Goals and themes:

  • 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, and EDI
