I am a Research Scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado. My research combines 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.
