Tom Lawrie is assisting the TIME team on Thwaites Glacier for the 2023-24 field season.
Yeshey Seldon works on the TIME project conducting seismic studies of Thwaites Glacier and analyzing the data.
Rebecca Schlegel is a geophysicist and glaciologist working at University of Tübingen in Germany. Her focus is on the investigation of basal conditions and high-resolution topography of ice streams, specifically the initiation and evolution of bedforms. Within GHOST she is involved in the acquisition and analysis of ground-based radar data which will be used to determine bed topography and basal properties over a wide area.
Hosted at the University of Houston, with support from the University of Texas at Austin, University of Houston, and the Science Coordination Office of ITGC, join colleagues at the From Ice Sheets to the Coast: Sea-Level Rise Impacts meeting April 10-12, 2024. This meeting will bring together glaciologists, coastal scientists and community planners to discuss the impacts of Thwaites Glacier on the Gulf Coast of Texas.

Dr. Felipe Napoleoni is a glaciologist specialising in radar applications, currently affiliated with the University of Edinburgh. His expertise lies in utilising radar technology to characterise the ice/bed interface, study glacial dynamics, and understand ice sheet structures. Dr. Napoleoni will collaborate with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, as well as a team at the British Antarctic Survey and University of Tübingen, to implement advanced radar techniques for analysing the internal composition and behaviour of glaciers. This collaboration aims to improve our knowledge of subglacial bedforms and enhance our understanding of glacial processes to improve predictive models for ice flow and mass balance.
Amanda Willet is a Ph.D candidate at the Pennsylvania State University assisting with the passive and active seismic deployments on Thwaites Glacier. She uses this geophysical data in conjunction with remotely sensed data to study damage at the surface, and basal mechanics
