We offer a friendly and supportive work environment, working together across disciplines to answer some of the biggest questions in polar research. iC3 aims to close order of magnitude uncertainty in polar carbon budgets, addressing the hypothesis that changing ice sheets and the cryosphere profoundly impact Earth's carbon cycle, directly affecting human societies via feedback to the global climate and polar ecosystems.
