Boston Globe GEOEO24 coverage!!
Our research expedition to Northern Greenland was covered in a recent Boston Globe article.
Liz and her colleagues from UNH, Larry Mayer and Brian Calder, were part of a team aboard the Swedish icebreaker Oden. We were the first modern research expedition to study the remote Victoria Fjord in Greenland. We used an uncrewed surface vehicle, the Seafloor Systems Echoboat, to map the seafloor and the geometry of glaciers and icebergs below the water surface.
Check it out to learn more about the work we did with the Echoboat and see some fun photos from the Arctic. Read the article here!

Liz was one of the collaborators in the "Turbulence in La Jolla Canyon" project in October '23 on the RV Beyster. The work will provide fundamental fluid mechanics insights into mixing and transport in the Jolla Canyon. She deployed her broadband acoustic system to characterize water column structure.

Ice-Ocean interaction workshop at the National University of Singapore
Ice-Ocean interaction workshop at the National University of Singapore
Liz and her Scripps Institution of Oceanography colleagues joined a workshop with researchers from Poland and Singapore to discuss ice-ocean research in October, including preliminary results from our summer field work in Svalbard!
Svalbard expedition 2023
Svalbard expedition 2023
A very successful field expedition to southwest Spitsbergen, Svalbard wrapped up in late-July. Liz deployed a broadband acoustic system, along with direct sampling equipment, to 1) characterize the distribution of thermohaline structure in the fjord associated with freshwater sources, and 2) collect high resolution data of the submerged terminus of tidewater glaciers.

Liz and Tom Weber just published a research article in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America entitled "Broadband acoustic characterization of backscattering from a rough stratification interface." This paper outlines the application of an acoustic scattering model to the study of ocean structure - concluding that geophysical parameters describing ocean structure can be extracted from acoustic data with the proper measurements!

Scripps Institution of Oceanography Postdoctoral Fellow
Scripps Institution of Oceanography Postdoctoral Fellow
Liz started her position May of 2023, working with Dr. Grant Deane and Prof. Fiamma Straneo. During the postdoc she will bring her expertise in broadband acoustics to the study of high latitude glacial fjords to better understand ice-ocean interactions.
UNH undergraduate research conference
UNH undergraduate research conference
The undergraduate research assistants, Nicole and Eli, working with Liz on her hydrothermal vent NOAA Office of Exploration Research project gave a poster presentation at the University of New Hampshire undergraduate research conference. The poster covered their contribution to the project, the evaluation of flow behavior along a line array using both theory and empirical tools. This was Nicole's first poster presentation and did a fantastic job!
UNH Spark magazine article on inclusion efforts
UNH Spark magazine article on inclusion efforts
Liz and Alex Padilla, URGE pod co-leaders for the Ocean Mapping and Engineering Pod at UNH, were featured in the UNH research magazine, SPARK, for their inclusion efforts on campus. Find the article, Deconstructing Bias, here.
Resource map for UNH BIPOC community
Resource map for UNH BIPOC community
Liz, along with three other UNH graduate students, presented a prototype resource map at the Unlearning Racism in the Geosciences session at AGU 2021. The interactive map displays resources relevant to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community members on and near the UNH campus. Providing a geospatial context that identifies and supports BIPOC can help cultivate a sense of belonging, acceptance, and safety within a university community. Watch the recording here!

Liz and Tom Weber published a new research article in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America entitled "an acoustic scattering model for stratification structure." This paper describes the scattering of sound off ocean water column structure, such as the seasonal thermocline, the base of the mixed layer, of thermohaline staircases.
