At the annual meeting of the Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA) hosted at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, I’ll be presenting new data that allow a more complete view of the iceberg calving process. These data include … Continued
This year, I’ll be giving an invited talk in one of the ice/ocean interaction sessions, and convening another session focused on iceberg calving and submarine melt at the termini of tidewater glaciers. My talk, at 11:20 on Wednesday in MW … Continued
During the last several days, I have taken part in an international workshop to identify the major gaps in the scientific community’s understanding of interactions between the Greenland Ice Sheet and its surrounding ocean. The workshop on Greenland Ice Sheet-Ocean … Continued
Our paper on the extreme sensitivity of calving termini is now out in Nature Geoscience. A press release describing the significance of our work is available here.
A new study, of which I am a co-author, examines globally-collected observations of iceberg calving and novel model results to present a new framework for understanding this important mass loss process. Our study explains why calving rates vary so greatly … Continued
I recently presented an overview of my research program to date at the weekly seminar of the Univ. of Texas Institute for Geophysics. You can view it here. In this talk, I describe my past and ongoing research into how … Continued
Earlier this month, our joint Univ. of Texas and Univ. of Kansas team returned from West Greenland, where we collected data regarding the behavior of ocean-terminating glaciers in a major fjord system.Many of the sensors we visited, including GPS receivers, … Continued
At the annual meeting this December, I’ll be making an invited presentation and co-convening a different session. On behalf of AGU’s Cryosphere focus group, I am serving on the meeting planning committee.The fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union is … Continued
I’ve recently co-authored an accessible review of recent research into iceberg calving. You can read it by clicking here. Approximately half of the ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet occurs where glaciers flow directly into the ocean. At the … Continued
I recently joined the UT Marine Geology and Geophysics field course on the Gulf of Mexico to learn about methods to study the seafloor. When deployed at the fronts of glaciers, these techniques can help us identify the stability of … Continued
