We meet weekly in the Glacier Modeling Lab to learn from each other and from external sources.
Spring 2023
Meeting time: Thursdays from 11:00am-12:00pm Eastern time
Location: Hochstetter 439
Goals and themes:
- Have workshops where we produce tangible outputs, e.g. progress writing our theses, papers, or proposals
- Read and discuss papers
- Discuss important current issues in science, glaciology, and EDI

- February 9 : Jessica Mejia
- February 16 : EDI discussion
- An unlimited (within 1 hour) discussion on racism, sexism/LGBTQ+ issues, microaggressions, etc.
