Bartholomaus-mentored Ph.D. student wins Early Career Award for outstanding paper
Denis Felikson has been awarded the 2019 Early Career Award by the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences. Tim Bartholomaus had the privilege of working with Denis while the two of them were at the University of Texas in Austin, and … Continued
Tristan Amaral defends M.S. thesis
UI Glacier Dynamics lab member Tristan Amaral recently gave an excellent summary of his master’s thesis research, “Validation of iceberg calving models on Greenland outlet glaciers.” During his presentation, Tristan discussed the challenges of identifying a universal calving law, appropriate … Continued
Ph.D. opportunity in Greenland tidewater glacier dynamics
The Glaciers Dynamics lab at the University of Idaho seeks a curious, hard-working, quantitatively-oriented Ph.D. student to study tidewater glacier dynamics around the Greenland Ice Sheet. Following Saturday’s successful launch of ICESat-2, the successful applicant will draw on the satellite’s … Continued
Student researchers advance understanding of iceberg calving
Thanks to the hardworking team of student researchers who worked together over the summer on our NASA-funded project to understand iceberg calving around the Greenland Ice Sheet. Undergraduate researchers Danny Bugingo and Rian Brumfield worked with M.S. candidate Tristan Amaral … Continued
PhD student opp. to study calving in Greenland
The glacier dynamics group at the University of Idaho seeks a Ph.D. student to pursue research into the factors controlling iceberg calving around the Greenland Ice Sheet. This NSF funded project, with Co-PI Dr. Ellyn Enderlin of UMaine, will draw on … Continued
Glaciology student wins college-wide award
Congratulations to Margot Vore for winning the “Outstanding Research Poster” award at the annual UIdaho College of Science student research fair! Margot’s presentation was obviously very well received by all who stopped at her poster during the October 27 event. … Continued
Research group presents at Northwest Glaciologists in Vancouver, BC
The UI Glacier Dynamics Group traveled to the annual meeting of Northwest Glaciologists in mid-October to present their latest research and share ideas with other regional glaciologists. Univ. of Idaho grad students Margot Vore and Tristan Amaral made excellent presentations … Continued
Seismometers, GPS recovered from Alaskan glacier
In September, UI grad student Tristan Amaral, Juneau local Mary Gianotti, and I traveled up to the Lemon Creek Glacier to recover seismic and other equipment set up at the end of June. The seismometers, GPS receivers and pressure gauge … Continued
