Groomed Ski-way: ICECAP Season 1
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.
