We meet weekly in the Glacier Modeling Lab to learn from each other and from external sources.
Fall 2021
Goals and themes:
- Roughly every three weeks, read and discuss a current glaciology paper
- Roughly every three weeks, have a workshop where we produce tangible outputs related to science, career, or outreach
Schedule
- Week 14 [Dec 3]: AGU practice talks (Kristin and Jess)
- Title: Are the Sermilik Fjord glaciers terminus-controlled, runoff-controlled, or runoff-adapting? Decomposition of glacier speed maps at Helheim, Fenris, Midgard, and Pourquoi-Pas Glaciers, 2006-2019
