ice+Climate seminar Series

An virtual/in-person hybrid seminar series highlighting research related to ice+climate, especially graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty. We aim to foster a broader participation of underrepresented researchers and our goal is to build a community that is supportive and inclusive.

We are always looking for speakers! 

If you are interested in giving a presentation contact Prof. Colin Meyer (colin.r.meyer(at)dartmouth.edu).
