Justin Lawrence is a PhD student with the ROV Icefin team and works to process and interpret vehicle data products.
Jhon Fredy Mojica Moncada is a physical oceanographer at CSLC responsible for deployment of equipment at the Thwaites Glacier front to record the directional waves and ice-ocean interaction. He will assist in the analysis and interpretation of the oceanographic data recorded. This will allow the team to detect ocean wave activity and to relate it to the response of the glacier to those waves and to ice-ocean dynamics.
Helen Ockenden's PhD research, funded by the NERC E3 Doctoral Training Programme at Edinburgh, will explore the shape and condition of the subglacial environment with ground-penetrating radar, to better understand the bed topography and friction at the base of Thwaites Glacier. The data will be incorporated into ice-sheet models to reduce uncertainties in the future projection of the glacier outflow.
Glaciologist Tasha Snow spent 55 days at sea learning about Thwaites Glacier. Hear what she says upon returning to dry land in the National Snow and Ice Data Center Highlight.
Emilia Jin is a senior research scientist in the LIONESS-TG group at Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI). Her research interests are focused on the numerical modeling of changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet and their global impacts.
As part of the LIONESS-TG group, she and her team will produce the improved future projections of ice sheet melt and sea level rise using ice sheet model and ocean model by implementing new observations from field campaigns.
SungHyun Nam is an associate professor at the Seoul National University. His research focuses mainly on understanding the dynamics of physical oceanographic processes that often interact with underwater acoustics, ocean biogeochemistry, marine ecosystems, air-sea interactions, and climate change/variability/events.
Nam is a co-principal investigator on the LIONESS-TG project. He has over 18 years of experience as a physical oceanographer with expertise in observational programs and data analyses of internal waves, hydrography, and current dynamics. He has led or participated in more than 60 oceanographic research cruises in Korean, U.S., and international waters. He and his team will use oceanographic instruments to make in situ observations of the processes underlying ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions.
Jeonghoon Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Science Education (Earth Sciences) at Ewha Womans University. His research interests include isotopic evolution of meltwater, moisture transport with water vapor isotopes, glaciology, and groundwater geochemistry.
Lee is a co-principal investigator on the LIONESS-TG project. By sampling seawater, meltwater and snow, he and his team will identify different water masses around the Amundsen Sea with stable isotopes, and the observations will lead to a better understanding how much glacier waters contribute to sea level rise.
Ki-Weon Seo is an associate professor in the Department of Earth Science Education at the Seoul National University. His research mainly focuses on examining ice mass loss from both ice sheets and sea level rise by using satellite gravimetry and altimetry data and currently covers regional sea level variation determined by gravitational change over West Antarctica.
Seo is a co-principal investigator on the LIONESS-TG project. He and his team will study ice mass loss in Thwaites Glacier that is one of the leading causes for the change of gravity.
Choon-Ki Lee is a principal research scientist at the Korea Polar Research Institute. His reseach interests inculde geodesy, gravimetry, and electromagnetics to understand changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
As a member of the LIONESS-TG group, he will study the ice mass loss and subglacial hydrology of Thwaites Glacier by integrating satellite altimetry, GNSS, ApRES, and other available geophysical data.
