Ways of Ice

science, education · EN

Ways of Ice is a narrative science podcast about glaciers, climate, landscapes, and the human quest to understand the cryosphere. Written, produced, and hosted by glaciologist Ryan M. Strickland, the series explores ice as one of the great dynamic forces shaping Earth across deep time. Combining glaciology, geomorphology, climate science, physics, and the history of science, the podcast approaches Earth systems through conceptual models, scientific storytelling, and field observations from some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Episodes move between Antarctic ice streams, Himalayan glaciers, mountain landscapes, laboratory experiments, and the historical expeditions that transformed our understanding of climate and planetary change. Ways of Ice explores fundamental science questions: • How do glaciers flow? • How do ice sheets shape landscapes? • Why do glaciers respond so sensitively to climate
