Episode 5.3: Tim Bartholomaus — Shifting Glaciers The Vandal Theory

Question: What makes up a glacier?  

Meet Tim Bartholomaus (bit.ly/3fKY1Rc), an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Spatial Sciences (bit.ly/3NJ7NzI) at University of Idaho. Glaciers are more than just an ice cube slowly sliding through the landscape. Bartholomaus is exploring why a glacier’s speed varies, how well glaciologists can predict glacier and icesheet melt, and the balls of moss — adorably called glacier mice — that live on glaciers.
