I am a Geoscientist who uses remote sensing and field based measurements to study surface and near surface geophysical changes. My research focuses on cryospheric processes (glacier dynamics, snowpack evolution, permafrost loss, sea ice and ice mélange variations) and natural hazards (wildfires, landslides, flooding). My work combine elements of remote sensing, algorithm development, data science, and geospatial analysis techniques to study geophysical surface deformation over a variety of spatiotemporal scales.. I use satellite and terrestrial platforms to evaluate underlying geophysical processes. Recent projects include the derivation of 3-D surface velocities along Alaska’s glaciers, near-real-time wildfire burn area mapping from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), sediment advection from GNSS-IR systems, granular proglacial ice mélange impacts on tidewater glacier calving, and the influence of perennial firn aquifers on tidewater glacier dynamics.
