Classroom on Ice: The Patagonian Icefield Research Program

a group of students and staff in hi-vis rain gear pick theri way along a rocky slope towards a glacier

An isolated fjord at the edge of the Southern Patagonia Icefield. A small cluster of tents pitched beside Bernal Glacier. Fourteen days without roads, cell reception, or routine – only creaking ice fronts, restless wind, the constant murmur of meltwater, unrelenting rain, and a team of fellow adventurers as companions. The Patagonia Icefield Research Program …[Read More]

Geysers, Geese, and Graph Neural Networks: Impressions from the Glaciology in Machine Learning Summer School (GlaMacLeS)

An isolated, idyllic, and inspiring setting in the gorgeous Centennial Valley of Montana, where nothing pulls your attention from the task ahead, a motivated group of PhD students and postdocs in glaciology, and five energetic lecturers: the perfect combination for tackling the ambitious challenge of exploring the interface between glaciology and machine learning. Who wouldn’t …[Read More]
