The 2024 total solar eclipse event
Experience the 2024 total solar eclipse with CATE 2024! Join our team at the University at Buffalo as we observe the Sun’s corona on April 8th, 2024, across North America.
Goals of RS Lab
- Improving the understanding of ongoing cryospheric changes by monitoring ice sheet mass balance and ice dynamics
- Investigating the linkages between subglacial geology and ice sheet dynamics by combining geophysical, remote sensing, climate and glaciological observations
- Reconstructing century scale cryospheric changes from historical observations
- Quantifying ice sheet contribution to sea level rise
- Developing new approaches for extracting higher level information from remotely sensed observation
- Developing new methods for change detection, data fusion and visualization to support Earth science applications.
Current Research Projects
NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite mission
- ICESat-2 horizontal error validation using natural surfaces
- Integration of ICESat-2 observations into ice sheet elevation change record to investigate ice sheet processes
- Revealing the processes controlling outlet glacier seasonality with ICESat-2
NASA’s sea level change research
- Combining multi-satellite observations, modeling and Earth systemdata assimilation for understanding observed and projected sea level change
NSF Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation
- Ghub as a community-driven data-model framework for ice-sheet science
