Scientists Dr Peter Davis (British Antarctic Survey) and Dr Britney Schmidt (Cornell University) have been named in the 2023 TIME100 annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME Magazine. They were recognized for their contributions to climate science, following the publication of results from an unprecedented expedition to measure melting under the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica.
At PASSCAL, Madeline helps support various seismic experiments in the Arctic and Antarctic. Madeline deployed with the TIME team as technical support for the hundreds of seismic nodes, small 3-channel seismometers, that were used in the 2022-23 season.
