I'm a Ph.D. student in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences and the Climate Change Institute. I am also an IGERT Fellow in the University of Maine's IGERT on Adaptation to Abrupt Climate Change (A2C2). I study the glacial dynamics of outlet and tidewater glaciers and ice streams and the various forcings that affect their flow. I'm also interested in the relationship of these flow dynamics with regards to abrupt climate change and sea level rise.
