Introduction
In this webinar, Jon Hawkings, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, explores the relationship between glaciers and trace metals. By delving into the role of trace metals on the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet, he explores how these elements might influence ecosystem structure, productivity, and nutrient mobilization.
Watch as Professor Hawkings sheds light on the living skin of the ice sheet and the role that trace metals might play in its darkening, plus, the indispensable role of ICP-MS as a powerful tool for precise and ultra low level trace metal analysis in glacial research. Through fieldwork experiences spanning remote regions like the Arctic and the Himalayas, Professor Hawkings offers insights into how we study the complex interactions between glaciers, trace metals and in-situ and downstream ecosystems.
