Group assembles for outdoor, socially-distanced conference

The UI Glacier Dynamics Group gathered for three afternoons, Oct 14-16, in Tim’s driveway and garage to participate in the annual Northwest Glaciologists’ meeting.

Ph.D. candidate Chris Miele presented his latest results from floating ice shelves, and discussed the implications of his findings on glacier retreat in Greenland and Antarctica. Group leader Tim Bartholomaus introduced the new Turner Glacier surge project to the assembled research community.

It was great fun to gather in person, after months of time apart, and actually spend some time in community again- both together, and with the broader community of glaciologists in the Northwest.
