Jessica Badgeley, our GIS paraprofessional, has some exciting news to share:
The University of Washington in Seattle accepted me to be a graduate student in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) on a PhD track. As one of the most prestigious programs for studying the cryosphere (the world of ice), ESS collaborates closely with Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, and the Program of Climate Change. I will be working with Dr. Eric Steig in ESS and Dr. Greg Hakim in Atmospheric Sciences to use ice core-derived precipitation information and climate models of the past 12,000 years to reconstruct the past Greenland Ice Sheet extent. This work is highly collaborative across universities and disciplines and is important for forecasting sea level rise from ice sheet melting as Earth’s climate warms.
Congratulations, Jessica; ITS: wishes you the very best on your new adventure!
ITS:Always fun, never boring
