Research
Current Projects
We proudly work with collaborators from a range of academic, governmental and research institutions, including from the University of Washington. Below is a non-exhaustive list of some of our presently funded work.
- Geodesy and Geophysics in Support of the ICESat-2 Mission
- Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-Comparison Exercise (IMBIE)
- Investigating Antarctic grounding zones using ICESat-2
- Reconstruction and Evaluation of Polar Ice Mass Change
- Advanced Information Systems to Fill STV Gaps: Next-generation Stereo+lidar Fusion and Sensor Technology (co-I)
- Data Fusion for Mass-change Measurements over Complex Ice Surfaces (co-I)
Software
We help build software for the scientific community. Our software is openly developed on GitHub under both the pyTMD and polargeodesy organizations, as well as the individual accounts of our lab team members.
