2005-2006 NASA Fellow

Through CReSIS (http://cresis.ku.edu), I am developing models of ice thickness and bed elevation for fast moving outlet glaciers, called ice streams, in the Greenland ice sheet. My goal is to provide a better understanding of Ice Sheet Mass Balance and the impact of global warming on global sea level rise.
