Robert (Bob) L. Hawley
Professor of Earth Sciences
Bob Hawley started working as a glaciologist in 1995, as an undergraduate at the University of Washington, through the National Science Foundation ‘Research Experience for Undergraduates’ (REU) Program. Following the completion of his BS degree he continued in glaciological research by participating in the inaugural winter-over at Summit camp, Greenland, during the 1997-1998 boreal winter. He earned a PhD in geophysics from the University of Washington in 2005. Following his PhD, he spent 3 years in Cambridge, England, as a post-doc at the Scott Polar Research Institute, studying radar altimetry. Since 2008 he has taught, mentored, and researched at Dartmouth College, as an Assistant and now Associate Professor. His research interests include: the physics of firn densification, mass balance of large ice sheets, interpretation of ice core records, and remote sensing. He has worked primarily in East and West Antarctica and Greenland.
Derek J. Pickell
Ph.D. Student
I’m interested in developing and harnessing next-generation space-based and in-situ technologies to study remote locations and extreme environments. At Dartmouth I am working in the Glaciology Lab to design global navigation satellite system (GNSS) instrumentation that will provide new insights into the surface conditions of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Victoria E. Halvorson
Masters Student
I am interested in using remotely sensed data to study how cryospheric landscapes change over time in response to climate change. At Dartmouth I am working on developing a machine learning model to automatically classify glacier area across High Mountain Asia that will allow for easier time-series analysis of past glacier change and for better projections of future glacial change based on a better understanding of the current state.

Jamie C. Good
Masters Student
I am currently studying small-scale surface roughness of the Greenland Ice Sheet through a variety of remote sensing techniques and fieldwork. My current research focuses on understanding the role surface roughness plays in ice-atmosphere interactions and its implications for climate modeling. I am also developing an on-ice laser distance meter to be used for surface roughness measurements and ICESat-2 validation.
