About the event:
How can tiny dust particles melt glaciers and support life? How can that life shape a complex ecosystem? What’s it like to do science on a remote and frozen continent? Join us as Professor Ruth Heindel (Environmental Studies) and students William Bryant ‘25 and Jordan Schisler ‘25 share their journey to understand dust’s influence on glaciers in Antarctica. After this presentation, you might view dust in a new light! Meet at the Resource Center.
