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
