Glaciology summer reading group
Informal reading group, Harvard University, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019
A low-key reading group that meets about twice per month in the summer to discuss recent progress in all areas of glaciology.
Lunch meetings on Wednesdays in the Birch Seminar Room. Lunch will be provided!
