Current work is wrapping up. Please contact your NSF program officer if impacted. We’re grateful to have supported your polar research. Read our full statement at www.pgc.umn.edu 26930
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 06/05/2025New weather station data now released on the GEUS Dataverse: doi.org/10.22008/FK2... We update this monthly with the newest data from our network of >40 weather stations across the Greenland Ice Sheet. See thredds.geus.dk for our near-real-time data (station-to-user within 15 minutes) 060

Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025There is a map visualisation on promice.org/weather-stat... with locations. We are going to update this soon as the live data feed currently uses an old production pipeline. We also have our thredds server for near-real-time data from the weather stations (including locations) - thredds.geus.dkpromice.orgWeather stations | PROMICE - GC-NET 030
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I don’t think I am yet, but would like to be if possible thanks ☺️ 120
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025- I want to use this platform to re-establish my own connections in the cryosphere research community, and also communicate about what is happening in Greenland 👩🔬👨🔬 - I would also like to use this platform to trial promoting new and updated PROMICE/GC-Net datasets… so look out for those 👀 1151
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025- Last year, a couple of us here in Nuuk started a book club for internationals living in Greenland. We pick a book from each of our countries each month 📚 - I am pretty big into women’s football, especially the Women’s Super League in the UK… it’s a pity I got interested after I left the UK! ⚽️ 150
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025- My primary task is maintaining and developing the data production pipeline for a network of >40 weather stations on the Greenland Ice Sheet 🌨️ - I live and work in Nuuk, the capital city of Greenland. Me and my wife have been living here for 6 years now and we love it 🇬🇱🏳️🌈 2141
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I should probably re-introduce myself here to new and old connections… - Hi my name is Penny and I am a data scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 - I have a Ph.D. in glaciology but have moved away from academia a little with my data scientist role ❄️ 217819

To stay flying in the A1 category (which allows flying close to people), and making the operations super easy, we modified a @djiglobal.bsky.social Neo with a <40g backpack! 031
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Amazing, thanks Mike. These feeds you recommended will help get me started. I really like that your feed can be customised... so I don't have to see people I am not subscribed to or depressing political news. 110
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 21/03/2025This is perfect for finding everyone again. Thank you Dan! 110

GEUS Bulletin is recruiting editors in Cryosphere, Computational geoscience, Hydrology, Marine geology, Palaeoclimate, palaeoenvironment & Stratigraphy. Read on: geusbulletin.org/index.php/ge... 086
Penny How @snowhow.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Giving BlueSky a go as I have felt a bit unconnected from the glaciology/cryosphere research community for some time now. How are others finding it? I want to find my people again! 3164
