Sarah is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. She is a hydrogeologist, a scientist who studies groundwater flow, and uses models to examine how water flow is changing as cold regions with frozen ground like permafrost warm. Sarah is the main research mentor for the undergraduate students on this project.

Sarah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. She is a catchment hydrologist, studying how water moves around watersheds, especially in places where warming is affecting snow and permafrost. For this project, Sarah is mentoring students out of the Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska to capture the field measurements that we need to understand water flows through water tracks and thermoerosional gullies.

Ben is a Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. He is a geomorphologist interested in the topographic response of arctic landscapes to warming.  Does thaw stabilize, destabilize or have little effect on transport processes in cold region rivers or hillslopes? Ben helps with the design of field experiments and interpretation of topographic drivers behind our hydrologic measurements.

Clara is a Project Scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO. Clara's research centers on using remote sensing data from satellites to retrieve information about land surface hydrology. She will help process and interpret the remote sensing data used in the H2cOLD: Water in the Arctic project. 

Brandon is a graduate student pursuing his PhD at Idaho State University. He is the main field scientist for this project at the Toolik Research Station and sites, focusing on the impact of microtopography on soil moisture and flow paths. Brandon's research interests include fluid flow modeling, remote sensing of the Arctic, and undergraduate geoscience education.

Aaron is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He is a hydrogeologist interested in the transport of water, heat and chemicals in environments that experience snowcover and ground freeze-thaw conditions. For this project, Aaron is using field measurements and numerical models to better understand how carbon may be mobilized and transported from thawing permafrost.

Noah is a recent graduate of the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Appalachian State University. Noah has a degree in quantitative geoscience and has done extensive fieldwork and research on glacial retreat in Canada. Noah is one of the field technicians for this project. 

Sylvia is a recent graduate of Appalachian State University and Summer 24 is her first season in Toolik Field Station. She is a geology research assistant and her role within the research team is to support the primary researchers in data collection and analysis. 

Rebecca is a catchment hydrologist (looking at how water flows through watersheds) and biogeochemist (studies the chemicals that make up living things). Her role as a postdoctoral researcher on the project is to investigate the amount of time it takes for precipitation (e.g., rain and snow) that falls on the watershed to emerge as stream flow.

Marta is an environmental science lecturer in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Appalachian State University (Boone, NC) and serves as the K12 Education and Outreach Coordinator. She is in charge, alongside Morgan and Marceline, of translating the scientific jargon for the project into educational programming by developing and testing outreach materials. She will also be driving the "Geobago" mobile classroom.
