It would be great if we can be added as well. We support a lot of glaciology research. Thank you!
VFLs are designed to engage students in active note-taking, building data tables, sketching, graphing, calculating, and analyzing. icedrill-education.org/virtual-fiel...

VFLs are unique interactive Education Outreach products designed for students from late middle school to college. The VFLs are designed for students to watch with a teacher present (virtually or in person), or independently on their own computers.
Advertisement for the "Sea level rise and Thwaites Glacier" virual field lab. In this virtual field lab, Dr. Richard and Dr. Karen Alley take us to Antarctica to analyze the stability of Thwaites, the world’s most dangerous glacier. Vital signs are taken using satellite imagery to see how much sea levels may rise in the future. A quest to see if the “Doomsday Glacier” nickname is deserving.
