Replying to @BessKoffman
Our analysis suggests that senior women in particular catalyze women’s participation in publishing, and that collaboration between women can help close gender gaps in science. 9/10

After summiting Canada’s Mount Logan, @NatGeo Explorer Alison Criscitiello and her team spent two weeks drilling over 300 m into the ice. Their findings could provide a new history of Earth’s climate over 30,000 years. More on bit.ly/Mount_Logan_2 #PerpetualPlanet

This week we wanted to take a good look at Canada’s glaciers. First, we meet @IceCICL, who drilled ice cores 300m deep on Mount Logan's icy glacier. Then, researchers from @NRC_CNRC trekked across Canada's glaciers after years of pandemic delays. cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-5…

What can ice core records tell us about sea ice variability? Check out our recent work that uses ice core marine aerosol records to reconstruct polynyas in the Canadian high Arctic! doi.org/10.1029/2021JC017205 @ualbertaScience #icecore

RT @ACUNSAUCEN: Best way to get through winter? Embrace it. Our current isolation parallels polar expedition says #UAlberta's ice core scientist Alison Criscitiello theglobeandmail.com/canada/a… https://teapawt.net/t.co/fdaD6tCJQN @IceCicl
Cold is dangerous and deadly, yet it defines us. Can we embrace this winter of discontent?

Cold is dangerous and deadly, yet it defines us. Can we embrace this winter of discontent?

People who endure the chilliest climes, from Inuit and ice-swimmers to pioneers of physics and climatology, say a little discomfort is a small price to pay for happiness
