Allan Hills, East Antarctica

2023-2024 (51 days)

ALHIC2301 was drilled to a depth of 89 m using the U.S. Ice Drilling Program (IDP) Eclipse drill but did not reach bedrock due to hitting a rock
ALHIC2302 was drilled to a depth of 143 m using the U.S. IDP 9.5" blue ice drill but did not reach bedrock due to timing

2022-2023 (39 days)

ALHIC2201 was drilled to a depth of 92 m using the U.S. IDP blue ice drill and we hit bedrock!
ALHIC1902 was reaccessed and drilled to a depth of 143 m using the U.S. IDP 9.5" FORO drill and we hit bedrock!

2019-2020 (45 days)

ALHIC1901 was drilled to a depth of 160 m using the U.S. IDP blue ice drill and we hit bedrock!
ALHIC1902 was drilled to a depth of 143 m using the U.S. IDP 9.5" FORO drill but did not reach bedrock due to timing (we hit bedrock in 2022-2023!)
ALHIC1903 was drilled to a depth of 150 m using the U.S. IDP 9.5" blue ice drill but did not reach bedrock due to timing

REU intern, U.S. Geological Survey

Drilled and sampled a 27 m core in the accumulation zone of Wolverine Glacier
Collected water samples from various water sources in the Wolverine watershed
Received High Honors for my undergraduate thesis on "The oxygen and hydrogen isotope evolution of snow, firn, and ice throughout a melt season on Wolverine Glacier, AK"

2015 (8 weeks)

Juneau Icefield Research Program

Hiked and skied seventy-five miles across the Juneau Icefield from Juneau, Alaska to Atlin, British Columbia
Surveyed the spatial and seasonal water isotope variability on the Icefield
Conducted long-running surveys of glacier dynamics and mass balance
