I am a postdoctoral associate in the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, through a cooperative agreement with the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland. I study modern changes in the surface elevation and extent of land ice in Greenland, Antarctica, and Alaska using data from satellites such as ICESat-2, Sentinel-1, and the Landsat series.
