The Project Leadership Team will hold its 2020 meeting through teleconference on April 14. This virtual meeting is for the lead Principal Investigators and key ITGC logistics and management staff from NSF and NERC. Meeting attendance is by invitation and further details will be communicated by email to relevant team members.
Victoria Fitzgerald is a 2017 NSF Graduate Research Fellow working with Dr. Rebecca T. Minzoni at the University of Alabama. As a student on the THOR project, she is working to uncover Thwaites Glacier’s most recent unpinning story using geochemistry and microfossil assemblages.
Rachel currently works at the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Houston. Rachel does research in Marine Geology. Her most recent publication is 'Seismic Stratigraphy of the Shatsky Rise Sediment Cap, Northwest Pacific, and Implications for Pelagic Sedimentation Atop Submarine Plateaus.'
