The Glacier Dynamics lab at UIdaho welcomes Tristan Amaral this semester. Tristan will be working on a NASA and NSF-funded project to examine the controls on calving around the Greenland Ice Sheet. He comes to us after graduating Summa Cum Laude … Continued
Several new papers published this summer exemplify the diversity of our research group’s interests and methodologies. Thanks to the outstanding scientists and co-authors who led these efforts: Denis Felikson, Rebecca Jackson, and Matteo Spagnolo. The first of these, published in … Continued
It’s been a busy summer for the Glacier Dynamics group, with a number of high-profile presentations focused around glacier seismology. In June, Tim participated in back to back workshops on Environmental Seismology, then taught during a weeklong summer course on Glacier … Continued
While glacier advance is extremely rare, study of advancing glaciers offers a more complete picture of glacier dynamics and the factors that enable such advances. In Alaska, Yahtse Glacier is the fastest advancing glacier. After a 40-km 20th century retreat, … Continued
I use macs at work due to their fluid interface with the unix environment, and their ability to run unix/linux programs. I’ve recently bought a new mac, which has required that I get it set up for my scientific computing. Below … Continued
Last week, I visited the Boise State Geosciences department to give a seminar on the use of seismology to understand subglacial water flow and sediment transport. I reviewed two of my recent papers, published in GRL (this in 2015, and … Continued
I’m just back from Taku Glacier, Alaska, where UI grad student Margot Vore, UT-Austin grad student Taylor Borgfeldt, and I retrieved new seismic data from a network set up on and around the glacier. We had a great trip, and were … Continued
I’m excited to welcome Margot Vore to my glacier dynamics group at UI. Margot will be working to better understand the flow of water through and under glaciers, through the analysis of seismic data. She’ll be analyzing seismic data recorded … Continued
This fall, I’ve moved to the University of Idaho to begin work as an Assistant Professor and expand my lab group. I’ve begun working with a graduate student who will work with glaciohydraulic tremor data to better understand changes in … Continued
I’ll be giving a talk in the plenary session on Renaissance Seismology: Seismology for Non-Traditional Targets at the upcoming IRIS National Workshop, in Vancouver, WA. I’m looking forward to sharing my perspectives on the tremendous utility of seismology for glacier … Continued
