Fieldwork

During the summers of 2022-23, I led the deployment of an ApRES, a new phase-sensitive radar developed by the British Antarctic Survey, to study firn densification and dynamic strain components of elevation change at Summit Station, Greenland

I've collaborated with Dr. Seth Campbell on various ice-penetrating radar projects in Alaska, including on the Juneau Icefield to constrain englacial hydrology and on the Jarvis Glacier to inform models of ice microstructure and shear rheology

I participated in a research cruise aboard the M/S Polarsyssel, conducting in situ sea ice permeability experiments around Svalbard

I collaborated with Dr. Eric Petersen to investigate the surface energy balance and ice cliff dynamics of the Kennicott Glacier, a prominent debris-covered glacier in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in southeastern Alaska.

Oceans and lakes induce calving at glacier termini, but what about proglacial rivers? I installed time-lapse cameras at the terminus of Greenland's Russell Glacier for a year to address this question.

On the Greenland Ice Sheet, I helped deploy and test a network of OGREs, a new low-cost, multi-GNSS instrument for the cryosphere designed by Derek Pickell, advancing efforts to collect high-resolution positioning data in challenging polar environments.

I collaborated with an international team of Quaternary geologists to sample moraines and boulders at Páramo de Frontino, Colombia for exposure-age dating in the lab, informing my numerical models of tropical glacier evolution.
