2017 Ablation Zone Photos
In July 2017 I spent 1 week at a field location in the ablation zone in the Issunguata Sermia catchment. This field site was where scientists from the University of Montana and University of Wyoming installed inclinometers and temperature sensors throughout the ice column in 9 boreholes. I helped to dismantle the field experiments and map the bed using ground penetrating radar.

RESEARCH
Advancing our understanding of firn hydrology requires synthesizing observations and model output from the kilometer scale down to the grain scale, which involves combining laboratory, field-based, and remote-sensing datasets.
I take a multiscale approach to study the feedbacks between water and firn structure, to understand the spatial and temporal evolution of water storage modes across ice sheets and ice shelves.
I eager to continue developing projects that examine firn hydrology through targeted field campaigns, laboratory studies, computational analyses of remotely-sensed data products and climate model ouput, and studies of seasonal snowpack processes as analogues for firn hydrology.
