December 2023: Thirty-seven scientists and over 24 support staff are on their way to Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. They are part of the ambitious international effort to understand the glacier and surrounding ocean system to determine its future contributions to global sea-level rise. This season represents the final large scale field season of the collaboration.

Rebecca Schlegel is a geophysicist and glaciologist working at University of Tübingen in Germany. Her focus is on the investigation of basal conditions and high-resolution topography of ice streams, specifically the initiation and evolution of bedforms. Within GHOST she is involved in the acquisition and analysis of ground-based radar data which will be used to determine bed topography and basal properties over a wide area.
Hosted at the University of Houston, with support from the University of Texas at Austin, University of Houston, and the Science Coordination Office of ITGC, join colleagues at the From Ice Sheets to the Coast: Sea-Level Rise Impacts meeting April 10-12, 2024. This meeting will bring together glaciologists, coastal scientists and community planners to discuss the impacts of Thwaites Glacier on the Gulf Coast of Texas.
