I'm excited that my first IGS symposium will be close to where I call home - hope to see many colleagues in Hanover, NH this June pushing the frontiers of glaciology!! (And if not - check out the streaming option, free for @igsoc.bsky.social members.)

Trump's latest push to acquire Greenland follows a century-long pattern of American military and economic ventures on the Arctic island that often ended in failure due to the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet, explains an environmental science scholar. buff.ly/bZW6CWd
US military has a long history in Greenland, from mining during WWII to a nuclear-powered Army base built into the ice
History also shows that many of the fanciful engineering ideas for Greenland failed because they misjudged the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet.
