The Snow4Flow concept paper is out! See notice in cryolist from Thursday. This will form the basis for the later AO. Stickers at #AGU24. snow4flow.lpl.arizona.edu/concept-paper

Lots of new people here so a reintroduction: Glaciologist & geophysicist. Big fan of ice, especially the grounded form, at both poles. Keen on radar sounding, airborne & satellite remote sensing, & developing better boundary conditions for ice flow models. Sometimes I meme, other times I exercise.

This is poor/confusing framing for several reasons. Among them: We ARE measuring sea-levels now and have been for decades, and NOT with Terra/Aqua. It's painful to lose them, but for detecting ice-shelf collapse, there are other satellites with comparable ability.

Also it's Mara's birthday

There's a lot going on in this excellent article, and way to go his brave students for standing up to this toxic mentor, but Dr. Dias' collaborator review timelines are hilarious.

For the glaciologists
