Dr. S. McKenzie Skiles has focused on the best approaches for measuring, modeling, and mitigating the impacts of light-absorbing particles (dust, black carbon, or microbial growth) on snow and ice. Her research has demonstrated that in southern Color...

Lucas (Luke) Zoet conducts innovative laboratory experiments that are targeted toward developing the quantitative understanding of basal mechanical interactions that is essential for process-based descriptions of glacier behavior. He delves deeply in...

Natalya Gomez’s research is a wonderful example of the power of interdisciplinary thinking in deepening our understanding of the Earth’s climate system. Her earliest work as a graduate student in Toronto and at Harvard focused on sea leve...

Advances in computer modeling of cryospheric and polar systems are enabling our field to confidently predict past, present, and future conditions, thereby informing scientific studies, policy, and future planning. Jan Lenaerts’s meticulous, dil...
