I am a research scientist studying ice sheets and polar oceans as indicators of climate change. I am formally trained as a computer scientist and earth scientist focusing on polar glacier hydrology and oceanography. I regularly work or have worked in the following areas:
-
Leading logistically complicated field campaigns with international stakeholders and participants ranging from multi-national corporations to Ph.D. students.
-
Collecting data from high-risk remote field sites such as underneath a glacier, within a crevasse field, or from the ocean at the edge of calving glaciers.
-
Custom or novel sensor life-cycle - Design, development, construction, deployment, operation, and field repair/debugging.
-
Reproducible computational workflows and scientific publications using open source tools.
-
Remote sensing including spacecraft operations and mission control, sensor calibration, and end-user imagery use.
-
Public outreach and education including popular press interviews, museum display creation, and speaking engagements on all seven continents from the U.N. General Assembly Room to kindergarten classrooms.
