I came to UB originally as a Computer Science major but after taking a Climate Change class during my freshman year, I decided that I wanted to learn more and get involved in climate science, so I switched my major to Environmental Geosciences. To learn more about climate science I decided to join the glacier modeling lab in the spring semester of 2020 . With the guidance of Dr. Kristin Poinar and other graduate students in the lab, I have gained a lot of experience in a short amount of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:30px\">Projects<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first project involved using Geographic Information System (GIS) to collect ice canyon sinuosities for two canyons located on a glacier in East Greenland called Vibeke Gletcher. GIS and Worldview images together made gathering data of the two canyons over a ten-year timespan possible. The collected sinuosity data were used in the model of <a href=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/group-members\/joshua-charlton-research\/\">Joshua Carlton\u2019s project<\/a> which is focused on canyons. I had minimal GIS experience and within the first few weeks, I learned a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-1024x724.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-1024x724.png 1024w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-768x543.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Figure 2.  \u00a0Two main canyons on Vibeke Gletcher <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-results2-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-results2-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-results2-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/glaciermodelinglab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/104\/2020\/03\/finalized-results2-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> \u00a0Figure 1.  \u00a0Digitized canyons on Vibeke Gletcher over a 10-year timespan  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> More coming soon  \u00a0? ?  \u00a0  <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Zaw Win Naung, also known as Francis, and I am currently a junior at UB.
