Areas of Expertise

Ice sheet mass balance, ice dynamics, subglacial hydrology, ice sheet stratigraphy, radar, GPS methods, uncertainty in ice sheet response to climate, satellite observations, remote-sensing observations, outlet glaciers, Greenland, glaciology, Antarctica, sea level, ice-ocean interactions.

Research Locations

I am always looking for enthusiastic students who have an interest in understanding glacier dynamics for Earth's present-day ice sheets. I am particularly interested in students with strong skills in quantitative methods, technical data science, remote sensing, and modeling. That said, ambitious students willing to dig in and teach themselves these skills should also write to me.

Graduate Students

Evan Carnahan , Ph.D., expected 2024 (Supervisor)

Sophie A Goliber , Ph.D., expected 2022 (Supervisor)
Sophie Goliber has been a Geological Sciences PhD student at UTIG since August 2017. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Buffalo where she got into remote sensing and glaciology research. Her fascination with the cryosphere drew her to UTIG and working with Ginny Catania who shared her interests in using remote sensing methods and optical remote sensing...
