Why Is Almut Iken Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Almut Iken was a German glaciologist most noted for her work on the role of basal meltwater in subglacial motion. In 2011, she was awarded the Seligman Crystal award from the International Glaciological Society and remains the only female recipient.
