My Ice Sheet Blog

I am interested in how climate change influences snow and ice covered areas and what climate change implies for natural and social systems linked to the cryosphere.  I am especially interested in how climate change influences the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and how this translates into sea level changes. My focus is using passive microwave remote sensing and validation to answer questions about the changing climate.  

My research steams from a love of being in cold icey places. Currently I am focused on measuring extinction lengths at microwave frequencies in Greenland and Antarctica.  This research allows me to spend time in amazing places.
