Brent Goehring is a researcher at the Los Alamos National Lab. His research interests include cosmogenic nuclides and surface exposure dating, glacial geology and geomorphology, paleoclimatology, and neotectonics.
By sampling bedrock beneath the ice sheet, he and his team will identify if and when the Thwaites Glacier retreated in the past, how it recovered, and how it is currently responding to environmental conditions.
