Jake Walter is a seismologist interested in earthquake physics and novel earthquake identification methodologies. He participates in the active and passive seismic portions of the TIME project and he led the 2019/20 TIME field season.

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.

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.
