Kristin Schild

Bio:

I’m a physical glaciologist who studies how ice sheets respond to a changing climate. I can generally be found either deploying and servicing instruments on glaciers or analyzing field data and remote sensing imagery. I am particularly interested in the interaction of glaciers and the ocean, and have recently focused on characterizing iceberg geometry and melt rates using high-resolution in situ measurements in Greenland. My research oftentimes takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on physics, math, and oceanography, as well as developing new methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing data. I also have current projects in Antarctica, Alaska, and New England.
