Jowan Barnes works as a modeller on the PROPHET project. He uses the ice-flow model Úa to investigate processes affecting the behaviour of Thwaites Glacier, and compares the results to those from other models. I will also couple Úa with ocean modelling to investigate the effects of a warming ocean on the basal melt rate.

Atsuhiro Muto is a glacial geophysicist who uses active-source seismology and gravity-anomaly data to reveal the geometry and physical properties of subglacial material and how they interact with the behavior of ice sheets and glaciers. As part of the TARSAN Team, he and his graduate student will use geophysical techniques to investigate the nature of sub-ice-shelf cavities and the grounding zones beneath Thwaites Glacier and Dotson Ice Shelf. As part of GHOST team, he will use geophysical data to reveal crustal structures and how they influence and interact with the overlying ice.

Lucas Zoet's primary field of research focuses on understanding the physics of glacier motion through field observation, laboratory experiments, and theoretical analysis. His work sits at the intersection of glaciology and glacial geology. He uses a variety of geophysical and geological methods to explore glacial processes in modern glaciers as well as landforms left behind by Pleistocene glaciers. His role in GHOST is to use the passive seismic observations to understand how Thwaites is slipping.

Alie Lepp is a current Ph.D. student in the Department of Environmental Sciences at The University of Virginia. Her research with THOR will involve examining recent history of subglacial processes, specifically meltwater discharge events, through sedimentological analyses. 

Bernd Kulessa is Professor of Geophysics in the Glaciology Group at Swansea University, UK, and the Director of Research for Swansea's College of Science. His research focuses on the use of applied geophysics to investigate the response of the world’s ice masses to past, present, and future climatic change, and to address related scientific problems of anthropogenic impact. As a UK co-investigator on the GHOST project he will conduct magnetotelluric geophysical surveys to improve our knowledge of the geothermal and hydrological conditions beneath the Thwaites Glacier, fundamental boundary conditions for numerical modelling of isostatic rebound and ice flow.

Richard Alley supports the GHOST project through model development and synthesis.

Nick Holschuh assists in radar survey design, processing, and interpretation.

Nathan Stevens is a graduate research assistant for passive seismic data acquisition, processing, and analysis. He focuses on using earthquake seismology methods to investigate basal mechanics and dynamics of Thwaites Glacier.

Robert Bingham is Head of the Global Change Research Institute. Rob’s research uses a wide array of geophysical, remote sensing and modelling techniques to unravel contemporary glacial change and processes, and to link modern subglacial environments and landforms to deglaciated landscapes. As a member of the GHOST team, he will travel to Antarctica to lead radar data acquisition on Thwaites Glacier to investigate and quantify the sediment, hydrology and subglacial geomorphology, and work with ice-sheet modellers to implement this information into forward projections of ice-sheet behaviour.

Dustin Schroeder leads radar sounding instrument development, data analysis, and interpretation for the TIME project.
