EGG Help Forum

IGS EGG are excited to announce a new online help forum aimed at providing a safe, non-judgemental space for peer-to-peer support and networking within the early career glaciology community (spanning Masters, PhD students and ECRs)!

The IGS EGG Help Forum is set up on the online platform Discord with access to various text channels spanning coding, geospatial and dataset help, sharing exciting glaciological news and achievements and space for networking with your glaciological colleagues from across the world! We hope this will build new and exciting supportive and collaborative relationships within the glaciology ECR community!
