IU Glaciology

IU Glaciology is a new research group in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, led by David Lilien. We are broadly interested in understanding how ice flows in Greenland and Antarctica, from the small scale to large scale. To that end, we use models, ice-penetrating radar, and remote sensing products to investigate past, present, and future ice flow.

We are looking to grow, with opportunities for graduate students, a postdoc, and undergraduate students! Please get in touch if you are interested in joining our group.
