At AGU 2024, in Washington, DC, I had the opportunity to illuminate the need for applied ice sheet modeling. Ice sheet modeling started out as a niche, obscure, curiosity. But, in the meandering manner of academic discovery, ice sheet modeling … Continued
The University of Idaho will host the 2024 Future of Greenland ice Sheet Science (FOGSS) workshop April 3-5. The workshop will take place on the UI campus, in Moscow, and also be accessible remotely for those unable to travel. FOGSS … Continued
The UI Glacier Dynamics lab group and alums made an outstanding impression at the AGU fall meeting in SF last week. Six of us attended and shared their most recent work: Grace Barcheck, Chris Miele, Bruno Belotti, Verenis Luca, Yoram … Continued
Our group was so proud to host the 50th anniversary of the meeting of Northwest Glaciologists, here at UI, on Oct. 14-15, 2022. We had nearly 60 attendees for about 40 talks and several posters, and the meeting really captured … Continued
We’re so proud of our two most recent lab group graduates, who graduated this last summer. Dr. Chris Miele received his Ph.D. with a dissertation titled “Shearing shelves, mathematical modeling, and fracture factories: analytic and finite element approaches to solving … Continued
Lab group members Verenis Lucas, Yoram Terleth, Bruno Belotti, and Tim Bartholomaus participated in the International Glaciological Society’s Symposium on Maritime Glaciers, in Juneau, Alaska. Verenis presented her work on snowpack warming and water infiltration through spring snow, Yoram presented … Continued
With the addition of Verenis Lucas, Yoram Terleth, and Bruno Belotti, our lab group has grown to five graduate student researchers. Verenis will be working on early-season glacier hydrology, Yoram on glacier surges and basal motion, and Bruno (co-advised with … Continued
The Univ. of Idaho Glacier Dynamics lab is very pleased to announce two new opportunities for prospective Ph.D. students, to start Fall 2021, or potentially earlier. To understand water flow through and beneath glaciers, and the effect of this water … Continued
The joint U Idaho and BSU field team had a phenomenally successful first field season at Turner Glacier this fall. We installed 26 different geophysical instruments on and around Turner Glacier, including 17 seismometers, that we’ll use to track changes … Continued
The UI Glacier Dynamics Group gathered for three afternoons, Oct 14-16, in Tim’s driveway and garage to participate in the annual Northwest Glaciologists’ meeting. Ph.D. candidate Chris Miele presented his latest results from floating ice shelves, and discussed the implications … Continued
