DepartmentOrganizationEmailPhoneAddressOrono , Maine 04469United StatesBioMy research focus is on quantifying the changing cryosphere (namely glaciers, ice sheets, and permafrost) and near-surface geology of Earth. I primarily rely on geophysics and remote sensing to study dynamical processes, thermal properties, and the internal structure of glaciers and ice sheets. I use similar techniques to estimate the depth, extent, and changes in permafrost relative to climate change or other influences (e.g. vegetation cover, topography). I am also interested in applying geophysical methods to studying the existence and origin of sedimentary and glacial deposits as well mapping surface and bedrock structures. In addition to my position at the University of Maine, I am also the Director of Academics & Research for the Juneau Icefield Research Program and hold an intermittent Research Geophysicist position with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory. My research sites include Alaska, Antarctica, Canada, Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest, and New England.
