aboutus

       The primary interest of our group is to understand the interaction between ice and climate, in particular, how Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets respond to climate change. Ice sheets play a significant role in the climate system: they store large amounts of fresh water and are the conveyor belts for transporting snow that accumulates inland back into oceans. A better understanding of the processes driving these changes is critical to improving projections of future sea level rise.
   Our research combines satellite remote sensing techniques (imaging radar interferometry, laser altimetry, optical imagery), airborne geophysical surveys (gravity, radar depth sounder), shipborne surveys (multibeam echo sounding, conductivity temperature depth (CTD) profiles), and field surveys (ground portable radar interferometer, GPS) and numerical modeling (ice sheet models and ocean models).
