The Limerick symposium will focus on edges in glaciology, which may include: beds of ice sheets or glaciers, supraglacial processes, crevasses, calving, grain boundaries (of ice and snow crystals), and perhaps philosophical edges. The edges of glaciology are most obviously those parts of the study of ice and ice masses which involve boundaries: grain boundaries, […]
