Arctic Speaker Series

Dr. Tris Irvine-Fynn will give a talk entitled “Water on ice: knowns and unknowns of supraglacial hydrology.” He will discuss meltwater transport processes, explore novel data regarding glacier near-surface permeability, consider the effects of micro- and macro-scale topography, and highlight some of the remaining unknowns and their analogues within permafrost science. For more information, please visit Tris Irvine-Fynn Arctic Speaker Series Poster. Afterwards, please join us for refreshments in the Arctic Institute of North America offices, ES-1040. This event is free and open to the public.
