Thwaites Interdisciplinary Margin Evolution (TIME)

An NSF- and NERC-funded International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) project studying the Eastern Shear Margin of Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica

This blog is maintained by the Thwaites Interdisciplinary Margin Evolution (TIME) field teams for the 2021-22 summer field season. This blog will primarily cover research and field work updates to allow others to learn about our science goals and what it is like to be a field geophysicist investigating glaciers in Antarctica.
