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.'
Sarah Slack is THOR’s PolarTREK teacher. PolarTREK is a US National Science Foundation program that provides hands-on field research experiences for teachers in the Arctic or Antarctica, working side by side with scientists. She teaches STEM at the Montauk School in Brooklyn, NY and has a Masters degree in Plant Biology from the University of Minnesota. She is a member of the city's Middle School Science Leadership Team and loves coaching her school's Science Olympiad team. Sarah maintained a journal and website during her cruise on board the US Research Vessel Nathaniel B. Palmer in January through March 2020.

Asmara Lehrmann is a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Julia Wellner at the University of Houston. She uses use microfossil assemblages to reconstruct past changes of Thwaites Glacier on the THOR project.
Jim is a PhD student based at Imperial College London who is collaborating with British Antarctic Survey. His research uses a variety of geochemical methods to trace the provenance of glaciogenic sediments, providing information on the past behaviour of ice sheets.
Santi is a Ph.D. student at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on studying the sensitivity of ice streams to subglacial topography by integrating geological observations and numerical models.
Laura Taylor is an undergraduate student at the University of Houston. Her senior thesis uses stable isotope signatures of marine fossils to reconstruct paleowater conditions. Her project with THOR is to assist the marine geology team with core description and sample collection on cruise NBP20-02 for January through March 2020.
