UKPN Seminar: The Wurst Idea of All Time

UK Polar Network

Join us for the next in our UKPN Seminar Series delivered by Lisa Craw from Cardiff University!

UKPN Seminar: The Wurst Idea of All Time<h2>Event Description:</h2>Glacier surges are one of the most difficult glaciological phenomena to study, not least because they tend to destroy instrumentation put in place to observe them. At Prifysgol Caerdydd/Cardiff University, we've been working to develop an instrument (the "cryowurst") that can capture the hydrology and dynamics of a surging glacier, and live to tell the tale. This is a work in progress, with plenty of mishaps along the way!Lisa Craw is a research associate at Prifysgol Caerdydd (Cardiff University) working on novel instrumentation for investigating glacier and ice sheet dynamics. Her background is in structural geology, and her PhD focused on ice microstructure and rheology as well as numerical ice sheet modelling.
