Looking Back at the First HS Campfire Events: Meet the 2024 Award-Winners & Explore the Evolution of Socio-hydrology

Looking Back at the First HS Campfire Events: Meet the 2024 Award-Winners & Explore the Evolution of Socio-hydrology

In December and February, the first-ever HS Division Campfire Events took place online!  For our premiere, we invited the 2024 Division award winners to join, present their work, and talk about their personal journeys as researchers. And in January, we took a look back at how socio-hydrology has evolved as a discipline since its inception over 10 years ago.  Let’s take a look at the first two HS C ...[Read More]

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions

Growing up, I didn’t know what it meant to “do research”. I did some research projects in high school, but research as a field path was totally foreign to me until I started university. Unlike me, the young students who participated in this year’s Arctic Frontiers Science for Schools program were given a first-hand glimpse into what it means to conduct professional research. The Science for School ...[Read More]

How can scientists see ice underground? Recent study reveals how!

How can scientists see ice underground? Recent study reveals how!

When it comes to peering beneath the Earth’s surface, geophysicists have an arsenal of high-tech tools at their disposal. But what happens when you need to track something as elusive as underground ice forming and melting in real time? Enter borehole Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), the underground detective that helped Peter Jung and his colleagues image frozen subsurface volumes in an experimenta ...[Read More]

Why Earth and Space Sciences need to dismantle the cis-het-white boys’ club

Why Earth and Space Sciences need to dismantle the cis-het-white boys’ club

The Earth and space sciences, like many STEM fields, have long been dominated by a narrow vision of who belongs. But the tide is turning. A 2023 workplace climate survey of Earth and space scientists highlights both the persistent barriers queer and other historically excluded scientists face and the urgent need for cultural shifts within the discipline. The data is clear: the geosciences must now ...[Read More]
