About me

Research interest

I study a range of processes related to ice–ocean interactions, including iceberg calving, submarine ice melt, and physical oceanography in glacial fjords. One of my primary tools is acoustical oceanography — a method that uses naturally generated underwater sound to better understand physical processes in seawater and at its boundaries. I have developed a technique to quantify calving fluxes from the underwater noise produced by icebergs collapsing into the ocean. My current work focuses on treating glacial fjords as natural laboratories for ice–ocean interactions, using passive acoustics, optical techniques, moored observing systems, and marine robotics. I have spent ten field seasons in the Arctic, conducting measurements from boats, on land, and directly on glaciers. This hands-on experience strongly shapes my research approach and offers students and postdocs the opportunity to actively participate in fieldwork and work with unique, real-world data from polar environments.
