Breaking the Ice

Couldn't resist the bad pun.

Hi all. My name is Thomas Overly. Here is the 'formal' paragraph I provided polarTREC:

'Graduate student in Geography at the University of Kansas working with snow accumulation data from Greenland. Currently on a Fulbright grant to Denmark/Greenland examining knowledge production on climate change from both a scientific and Greenlandic traditional ecological knowledge perspective.'

I have been in Greenland since early May. Spent May 7th to June 2nd on the ice sheet with the NEEM Ice Coring project. Since coming off the ice I have spent time conducting research in Maniitsoq and Nuuk on the west coast and Kulusuk, Tasiilaq, Isertoq, and Tiniteqiilaq on the east coast. Prior to coming to Greenland, (November to May) I was in Copenhagen working with the University of Copenhagen's Centre for Ice and Climate (the NEEM group).

Oh, for the Greenland participantS, I will be in Nuuk this Friday to Sunday morning, so if anyone would like to meet up, give me a call on my Greenland mobile (+299)22 42 56

General interests include skiing, climbing, photography, travel.... Here's the picture I provided polarTREC, taken in Tasiilaq about a week ago.
