Over 100 researchers and support staff working on the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) from across the US and UK, together with other international partners, met at British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge in September 2024 to discuss their observations and results so far.
It is the latest in-person gathering of the ITGC science community who are studying Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica and trying to answer the questions of ‘how much and how fast?’ the glacier will contribute to global sea-level rise in the future.
Peng Yan is a postdoc at NYU, working with Dr. David Holland to investigate glacier dynamics and ocean-ice interactions using geophysical, oceanographic, and glaciological techniques. He has been an active member to conduct multiple instruments lab tests including tiltmeters, ground penetrating radar, hot water drilling, oceanography surveying sensors, drones, and GPS before field applications.
