Spring is coming

Open house at the the Store Norske core store to talk about the role of geology drill cores for local industry, energy and climate for Sustainability week in Longyearbyen. Sooo cool that so many people came to a facility most locals never visit.

Our paper on the experiences of women conducting polar fieldwork is out! Check out the full paper here: doi.org/10.1371/journa… SoGE, University of Oxford UNIS

Gorgeous day to be visiting #KSAT sattelite ground station on Platåfjellet.
