Members of the Ryme team attended Greenland Science Week, taking part in a week of exchange with ARIA-funded research teams, scientists, members of the public, and local school groups. The event provided a forum to share progress, learn from parallel efforts in polar science, and connect research on ice-sheet change with wider audiences.

During the week, Ryme showcased a hands-on sonar demonstration, using it as a starting point to explain how its basestations operate in Greenland. These stations combine radar and sonar measurements to monitor the ice sheet and surrounding environment, generating data designed to act as an early warning system for potential climate tipping points.
Engagement extended well beyond the research community. Ryme team members spoke with members of the public and students at different educational levels, translating complex sensing technologies into clear, accessible explanations. These conversations emphasised why polar measurements matter globally, and how changes observed in Greenland are connected to wider climate systems.
The visit reinforced Ryme’s broader commitment to open, inclusive science. By prioritising clear communication, educational engagement, and collaboration with communities in Greenland and beyond, the team aims to ensure that the knowledge generated by its basestations is not only scientifically robust, but also accessible, relevant, and trusted by those most affected by rapid environmental change.
