Bio
My research focuses on high-precision temperature measurement, analysis, and modeling to better understand processes in cold earth and planetary systems.
I focus on climate-change detection, both past and present, the environmental conditions controlling various features of the cryosphere (e.g., permafrost, ice-covered lakes, cryovolcanoes), and the response of those features to climate change. In support of these investigations, I have done extensive field work in Antarctica, Greenland, and arctic Alaska. Modeling studies range from the earth's polar regions to Mars and the outer solar system.
