- Measured + analyzed Arctic sea ice growth and melt to identify primary drivers and consequences of Arctic sea ice change.- Designed, built, and deployed an autonomous, radio-networked sensor system for observing sea ice and snow in the central Arctic Ocean.- Led and contributed to 17 academic journal articles studying sea ice, snow, and upper-ocean processes in the central Arctic.- Secured $300k DoD NDSEG fellowship to conduct research on autonomous sensor systems for snow, ice, and ocean observation.- Installed and maintained sensor systems for observing sea ice and snow thermodynamic and dynamic processes during numerous icebreaker, small plane, and land-based expeditions.- Awarded $5k NSF JSEP fellowship to develop and deliver an Arctic science summer-school program for 30 U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic high school students.

- Responded to emergency medical incidents and provided critical medical triage, care, and transport to local and regional medical facilities.

- Deployed and maintained physical and ecological monitoring sensor systems in remote backcountry environments.- Conducted high-alpine lakes, coastal ecology, and snow monitoring research as part of a long-term monitoring effort in Olympic National Park.- As part of a team, planned and participated in 3-10 day surveys in remote backcountry environments.

- Led a project to measure and model the volume and retreat of Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, Canada.- Led 4x two-week field campaigns to measure the glacier using radio echo sounding.

- Studied Earth and Computer sciences, focusing on glaciology and digital electronics.- Wrote a senior honors thesis on the volume change of Athabasca Glacier over the past century.- Received grants totaling $5000+ to conduct undergraduate research.

- Led lecture based and experiential (indoor and outdoor) lab exercises for undergraduate Earth Science students in introductory geology, environmental, and Earth processes.
