A long-awaited journey
The International Glaciological Society (IGS) organizes symposia (or conferences) on different aspects of cryospheric sciences all around the world. In June 2022, the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau hosted the “International Symposium on Maritime Glaciers”. As I am working on numerically modeling marine-terminating/tidewater glaciers, this was a nice fit […]

Auch wenn wir mittlerweile sehr erfahren im Umgang mit virtuellen Seminaren und Konferenzen sind, können diese persönliche Treffen nicht dauerhaft ersetzen. Seit Anfang 2020 hatten bisher alle ArcTrain […]

The reason for the change was the same all over the world: the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions, as well as concerns to further spread the virus, forced […]
