Often, however, those of us who remain in our cozy offices can be forgotten, or thought to lead a ‘boring’ job. Alex Bradley, a modeller of glaciers, is here to remind you why the office glaciologist is fundamental to the Cryosphere, and why glaciology from a distance is key to the future. ...<a href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2024/08/29/cryoscientist-life-stories-experiences-of-an-office-glaciologist/" class="read-more more-link" title="Cryoscientist life stories: Experiences of an ‘office glaciologist’">[Read More]</a></p> </div><!-- END ENTRY CONTENT --> </article><!-- END POST --> <article class="post-loop post-15860 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-cryo-adventures category-editor-post category-fieldwork tag-antarctic tag-arctic tag-book tag-diversity tag-fieldwork tag-representation tag-summer"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="loop-title"><a href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2024/07/29/dreaming-reading-about-fieldwork-summer-blog-break-2024/" title="Dreaming & reading about fieldwork – summer blog break 2024" target="">Dreaming & reading about fieldwork – summer blog break 2024</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="meta-author"><a href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/author/mariascheel/" title="Posts by Maria Scheel" class="author url fn" rel="author">Maria Scheel</a></span> <span class="meta-date">July 29, 2024</span> </div> <!-- END ENTRY META --> </header> <!-- END ENTRY HEADER --> <div class="post-thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter"> <a href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2024/07/29/dreaming-reading-about-fieldwork-summer-blog-break-2024/"> <img src="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/files/2024/07/day2-2_0-700x400.jpg" data-rel="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/files/2024/07/day2-2_0-1400x800.jpg" width="700" height="400" alt="A person is kneeling down at a brown pond, all covered in mosquito net, waterproof gear, kitchen gloves and a pancake flipping spatula." class="wp-post-image" /> </a> <div class="featured_caption">Maria during an Arctic Microbiomes PhD Summer school in Nunavut, Canada.
