The Arctic region is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change and is already exhibiting dramatic changes in ecosystems, oceans, land and sea ice. Many of these changes will, in turn, have widespread implications. In particular, the rapid increase in Greenland ice sheet surface melting is now one of the current leading drivers of global sea level rise. In this project, students will examine Greenland ice sheet with quantitative and geospatial methods. Specific project topics may include analyzing field data of ice sheet surface melting, runoff, refreezing, applying simple models, or interpreting satellite or unmanned autonomous vehicle data.
