What made #CliC2026 particularly special were the perspectives of indigenous communities, their participation in scientific research and methods of storytelling. This reinforced the fact that science is only as good as its impact. Thankyou @clicwcrp.bsky.social

Thank you, @clicwcrp.bsky.social, for bringing together an engaging meeting of passionate experts of all stripes to discuss the crisis in the cryosphere and turning science into action!

There's something special about cryosphere conferences—maybe because the "ice people" are some of the warmest folks to talk to! ❄️Yesterday, a small editorial board meeting set the course for a conference #CliC2026 special issue in @aasjournal.bsky.social . Stay tuned! #Cryosphere

Challenging and important session on indigenous perspectives on polar climate #CLiC2026 @clicwcrp.bsky.social - from Māori to Arctic - expertly chaired by Billy Van Uitregt. Lots of historical/cultural knowledge that is missed when we focus on western science. Need to integrate both perspectives.
