Elizabeth Case (she/they) is a PhD candidate at Columbia University and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. Their research focuses on how snow turns into ice, water moves through old snow (firn), and snow and ice change, move, and can be measured under strain. They co-founded Cycle for Science, an adventure education program that translates research into K-12 lesson plans, and was faculty on the Juneau Icefield Research Program in 2018 and 2019. When they're not teaching or on ice, they love to climb and write. You can find her on twitter at @elizabeth_case.
Dr. Patricia Yager is a Professor at the University of Georgia Department of Marine Science. She is the lead Principal Investigator of the NSF-funded ARTEMIS project, a oceangoing collaboration with TARSAN and THOR. Her interdisciplinary research includes oceanography, marine ecology, and biogeochemistry. Her efforts concentrate on the feedbacks between climate and marine ecosystems, and include both fieldwork and modeling. Recent projects have investigated the effects of melting ice sheets on Arctic and Antarctic coastal productivity and carbon sequestration. She was awarded a Visiting Professorship (Science without Borders; Ciência sem Fronteiras) in Brazil, and the Antarctic Service Medal. Her research has been funded by the US National Science Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, NASA, DOE, NOAA, and the Keck Foundation. She has over 75 peer-reviewed publications, and has been cited more than 4900 times. She is the Director of the Georgia Initiative for Climate and Society and co-director of the Georgia Climate Project. She lives in Athens, Georgia with her husband, a geologist, and their two college-age sons.

Bed, surface elevation and ice thickness measurements derived from radar data acquired during the Thwaites Glacier airborne survey (2019/2020)
As part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) 4432 km of new radar depth sounding data was acquired over the Thwaites Glacier catchment by the British Antarctic Survey. Data was collected using the PASIN polametric radar system, fitted on the BAS aerogeophysical equipped survey aircraft VP-FBL. The survey operated from Lower Thwaites Glacier camp, and focused on collecting data in regions of ice >1.5 km thick between 70 and 180 km from the grounding line.
Chris Kratt is the Laboratory Coordinator for the Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs (CTEMPs) at the University of Nevada, Reno. He provides technical and logistical support to Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) research projects. He has a Masters degree in geology and co-instructs an undergraduate Applied Geophysics class. Mr. Kratt also has private sector experience conducting a variety of geophysical surveys.
