The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) is a field based training program that 30-35 undergraduate (and some graduate) students participate in, each year. Students traverse 110 km across the Juneau Icefield from Juneau to Atlin, BC learning about field glaciology, geophysics, glacial geology, climatology/meteorology and a number of other cryosphere-related topics from 50+ faculty and staff over 2 months. Students also gain glacier mountaineering, wilderness first aid, and other expeditionary training during this experience. We typically have 6 to 8 focused research projects of scientific interest led by faculty, that students participate in. Recent projects have focused on radio-glaciology and other geophysical studies, isotope geochemistry, glacier mass balance, biogeochemistry, glacial geology, ecology, geomorphology, snow hydrology, glacier hydrology, and Polar ecology. Program details and an application for students to apply can be accessed here: http://www.juneauicefield.org/If any of you have an interest in conducting research or working with students on the Juneau Icefield, please contact me. We aim to involve the broader scientific community in JIRP, as much as possible. Our ultimate goal is to provide a top field training program and research experience for the next generation of scientists while also conducting leading collaborative science research.

I conduct field research and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Earth & Climate Sciences including Geophysics, Glaciology, Field Safety & Logistics, Capstone courses, and Introduction to Research courses. Since commencing my career at UMaine in 2015, I have been Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI, or Collaborator on dozens of grants totaling over $18 million. My grant funding has hailed from the National Science Foundation, NASA, Department of Defense, and other private philanthropic or non-profit organizations.

I have taught Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder courses for SOLO through out New England as well as other locations such as Alaska and Maryland.

Washington, Dc, Us

I work as a Research Geophysicist for the Engineering Resources Branch at CRREL. My expertise is in Cryosphere geophysics and as part of this position I have conducted research on snow, firn, ice, permafrost, and near surface geology. My study sites are primarily in New England, Alaska and Antarctica. Recent projects include assessing the stability and structure of the McMurdo Ice Shelf in support of the US Antarctic Program (USAP) and mapping the near surface geology and structure of McMurdo in support of the long term USAP master plan to update and redesign McMurdo Station. Other projects I have assisted with or conducted include the testing of oil spill response equipment in Arctic conditions, radio wave propagation/attenuation research, and surficial/bedrock geology geophysical research.

Washington, Dc, Us

I worked as a Research Physical Scientist for a branch of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL), conducting geophysical (GPR, resistivity, magnetic) site surveys for permafrost research, near-surface geology studies related to hydro-geological research, contaminated site assessments, and unexploded ordinance detection. I also conducted glaciological research, radio wave propagation field studies, and basic research on GPR propagation in various geological mediums (tills, bedrock, sand, gravel,etc).

Seattle, Wa, Us

I am co-funded by the University of Washington "Future of Ice" Initiative and also at the University of Maine through the National Science Foundation to complete glaciological research in Alaska, Canada, and Antarctica. My primary UWashington/UMaine project in the Pacific Northwest is focused on reconstructing the ice flow dynamics at several ice core sites to estimate and compare Holocene precipitation patterns regionally. My primary UWashington/UMaine project in Antarctica is to map englacial structure of the Allan Hills to determine new potential ice core sites for studying long term climate. This region shows promise of having ice that is over one million years old. At each study location I am using a combination of field geophysical methods and numerical modeling.

Davis, California, Us

I am partially funded by the National Science Foundation working with a team from UC Davis and Harvard on a three year project (2015-2017) to reconstruct the glacial history surrounding the Ohio Range, a remote mountain site within the Trans-Antarctic Mountains.

Orono, Me, Us

I have worked as a research assistant in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences and as a teaching assistant for Introduction to Geology and Introduction to Geophysics courses through the same department between 2008 to the present. I have also assisted, unpaid, with courses on Tectonics, Earth Systems, and Geodynamics.

Seattle, Wa, Us

I was hired to conduct a field geophysical survey of the ice surrounding Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica in support of a cosmogenic nuclide dating effort focused on reconstructing the deglaciation over the Holocene in this region of the continent.

I worked as a climbing instructor through the summer months in Acadia National Park guiding clients on top rope, single pitch, and multi-pitch rock climbs through out Mount Desert Island.

I worked for a paramedic licensed emergency response and transport ambulance service covering much of Lincoln County, Maine.

Orono, Me, Us

I taught for-credit courses for the University of Maine outdoor education program including introduction to rock climbing, climbing wall management, and top rope rock climbing. I also trained climbing staff both indoors and outdoors, and led climbing, backpacking, and winter camping trips for the university and general public through the program.

I worked as a survey technician assisting a licensed surveyor on land, water, topographic, and construction site surveys for EPro.

I worked as an environmental technician for the Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection conducting GIS data analysis and water quality, fisheries and GPS field surveys through out the state of Maine.

Washington, Dc, Us

I worked as an environmental intern for the EPA conducting fisheries and water quality studies for federally funded research in the state of Maine. This internship led to full time employment with the Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Us

I worked as a tour guide for the Brunswick Dam and Fish way, both owned and operated by Central Maine Power Company. The site was frequented by K-12 school groups and the general public.
