Two ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø researchers — Bonnie Light, a principal physicist at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s Applied Physics Laboratory and an affiliate associate professor of atmospheric sciences, and Madison Smith, a recent ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø graduate who is now doing her postdoctoral research at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø — will join for the fifth of the six two-month legs, in summer 2020.
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø polar scientists are on Alaska’s North Slope this week for the 2016 Barrow Sea Ice Camp. Supported by the National Science Foundation, the event brings together U.S.-based sea ice observers, satellite experts and modelers at various career stages to collect data and discuss issues related to measuring and modeling sea ice. The goal is to integrate the research community in order to better observe and understand the changes in Arctic sea ice. Check out the group’s blog,…
