Nori Nakata is a geophysicist and his research focuses on seismic imaging and monitoring of Earth's structure. He participates active and passive seismic parts in TIME.

Adam is a geophysicist, interested in using geophysical methods (usually seismic and GPR) to understand the physical properties of the shallow subsurface. He particularly enjoys stealing approaches from the resources industries, and applying them in glaciological, environmental and archaeological settings. In TIME, he is a member of the Active Seismic crew.

The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) community supports the Black Lives Matter movement, recognizing that racism takes lives and breeds hate. We know that racism masquerades in many forms – including more subtle forms that keep Black, Indigenous, and People of Color out of the room and silence their voices, forms that stereotype people because of the color of their skin or deny them jobs because of their name. This is a problem rooted in centuries of injustice.

Revealing the former bed of Thwaites Glacier using sea-floor bathymetry: implications for warm-water routing and bed controls on ice flow and buttressing.

Michelle Maclennan (she/her) is a PhD student in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research focuses on ice-atmosphere interactions, in particular the impact of snowfall and extreme precipitation events on the surface mass balance of Thwaites Glacier. Michelle is combining recent observations from automatic weather stations on Thwaites ice shelf with reanalysis datasets to examine the spatial and temporal variability of snowfall and its connection to large-scale atmospheric circulation as part of the TARSAN project.


Newly discovered deep seabed channels beneath Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica may be the pathway for warm ocean water to melt the underside of the ice.
