#glaciology — Public Fediverse posts

An epishelf lake is a rare body of water where a layer of fresh water floats directly on top of denser, connected ocean salt water, trapped in place by an ice shelf acting as a dam.

Abrasion (geology) (Glaciology 🗻)

Abrasion is a process of weathering that occurs when material being transported wears away at a surface over time, commonly occurring with ice and glaciers. The primary process of abrasion is physical weathering. Its the process of friction caused by scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, and rubbing away of materials. The intensity of abras...

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0309132515623368) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

#Glaciology

Excellent episode of Science In Action.

Thoughtful + alarming on #H5N1 but piece on self regulation by genetic scientists was super interesting:
#glaciology is also having this discussion, now on #geoengineering. Time for a new #Asilomar?
