Ice-Radar and Satellite Remote-Sensing Studies of Glaciers and Ice Sheets

该奖项是为了支持一个为期3年的项目，以建立一个REU 在圣奥拉夫学院的网站，让本科生参与冰雷达， 对冰川和冰盖的卫星遥感研究。 在 除了正在进行的关于从实地研究中获得的雷达数据的工作之外 南极洲西部的冰流和华盛顿州的冰川， 该项目将利用雷达和卫星图像信息， 有助于改进冰流模型。 除了有 实验室工作，参与该项目的学生将 参加华盛顿南喀斯喀特冰川的野外工作。 这项工作是与美国宇航局戈达德冰川学家合作进行的 和芝加哥大学免费提供该资助。

This award is for support of a 3 year project to establish an REU site at St Olaf College to involve undergraduates in ice-radar and satellite remote-sensing studies of glaciers and ice sheets. In addition to on-going work on radar data obtained from field studies of ice streams in West Antarctica and glaciers in Washington State, this project will use radar and satellite imagery information to help improve models of ice stream flow. In addition to the laboratory work, the students involved in this project will participate in field work on the South Cascade Glacier, Washington. This work is in collaboration with glaciologists at NASA-Goddard and the University of Chicago at no cost to this grant.
