Jamin Greenbaum, Dusty Schroeder, Isaac Smith
UTIG Graduate Students

SEMINAR OVERIEW:

Jamin, Dusty and Isaac (and several UTIG researchers) have recently returned from Antarctica, where they took part in the first season of ICECAP (Investigating the Cryospheric Evolution of the Central Antarctic Plate). After extensive equipment wrangling, the ICECAP team flew over 33,000 kilometres of aerogeophysical survey out of Casey this summer, making 14 flights and gathering over a Terabyte of data.


Jamin Greenbaum received his M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas in 2006 and is currently working with Ginny Catania and Don Blankenship on his Ph.D. thesis: Grounding line change in the Ross Sea, Antarctica.

Dusty Schroeder received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and B.A. in Physics from Bucknell University in 2007.   He is currently working on his Ph.D. with Don Blankenship, using ice penetrating radar to characterize subglacial boundary conditions for ice sheet models.

Isaac Smith has a B.S. in Physics from Southwestern University and an M.S. in Physics from the University of Missouri. Currently he is working on his Ph.D. with Dr. Jack Holt.
