Ice on Mars

Welcome back to Polar Times! Today, we are leaving our cosy planet for a moment and we follow our guest to Mars. Your host Alexandra is joined by Nanna Karlsson from the Geological Suvery of Denmark and Greenland. Nanna chats about her career which started in planetary sciences with a focus on glacier ice on Mars. We talk about in which sense glacier ice on Mars is similar to glaciers in Antarctica and how planetary science can benefit from polar science in many ways.
Nanna chats about how her career took her to many different places in Antarctica and Greenland, and how she ended up as a glaciologist. We also talk about inclusivity in science and what difficulties you can have in polar research, especially as a woman. Nanna also gives valuable advice on how to pursue a career in science.
