Greendrill is an NSF funded grant that aims to determine that last time Northern Greenland deglaciated. My role in the project is to run climate and ice sheet models with new data retrieved during this project.

PLIOAMP is an NSF funded grant exploring Pliocene sea level amplitudes using proxy data. The goals of the project are to: "improve Pliocene sea level estimates, use data to test and calibrate ice sheet models, and reduce uncertainty in future sea level projections." My contribution to the project includes running transient Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the Pliocene to verify proxy and model results.
