For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland’s Helheim Glacier. Their long-running survey reveals that Helheim’s massive calving events don’t behave the way scientists once thought, reframing how ice loss contributes to sea-level rise.
Upcoming Events

The presentations will be followed by a reception and the option to tour the Arthur Ross Gallery’s current exhibition, Collecting the New Irascibles: Art in the 1980s, with curator Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, inaugural faculty director of the gallery. Register to attend.
Special Events
Community Study Session: What resources do I need?
Penn students can stop by to study alongside peers while learning how Penn Libraries can support their work. Students will learn how to contact a librarian for help, as well as how to access library services and tools relevant to their studies. Lydian Brambila, a medical education librarian, will be available to assist with questions.
