I am a second-year MS student in Computational Earth Sciences, department of Geology, at University at Buffalo. I am from Chengdu, China. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I study the diverse patterns of dynamic elevation changes observed on outlet glaciers around Greenland Ice Sheet using idealized glaciers and numerical experiments. I am generally interested in physics of ice flow, novel computational methods, and integration of numerical models and observations.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What fascinates me about glaciology is how little we know about many aspects of glaciers \/ polar ice sheets (e.g., we are still uncovering new physics or physical processes) and how rapidly we are generating new knowledge through observations and models. It is also a growing field that welcome people from various backgrounds (I did not study glaciology as an undergrad). It is an exciting space to be in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
