Each university within this MURI is dedicated to involving undergraduates in research. Below is list of current undergraduate researchers within labs and a brief description of their projects.
Brown University
- Simon has developed useful tools for satellite tracking and MODIS data query and download, and assisted with data analysis.
- Benjamin has been analyzing surface drifter data for characterizing mesoscale eddies in the Arctic Ocean.
California Institute of Technology
- Emma’s work within Andy Thompson’s group relates to the dispersion of sea ice floes due to oceanic eddies. She uses a model of sea ice floes coupled to an ocean model to explore how floe size influences the width of the marginal ice zone and its energetics
Dartmouth College
- Karun is working on Markov modeling of Arctic buoy data.
University of Washington
-
Robin is an undergraduate research assistant working on the development of Python-based GUI for visualization of data and segmentation of oceanographycally-relevant features.
-
Yuna is an undergraduate student working on numerical modeling of sea ice as it transitions through Nares Straits.
-
Camille is an undergraduate research assistant working on understanding the floe size distribution of sea ice as it passes through narrow straits.
University of Wisconsin - Madison
- Evelyn and Marissa are working on computational algorithms for discrete models of sea ice floes.
Yale University
-
Megan is an undergraduate student working on examination of sea-ice floe shapes in high-resolution satellite images.
-
Madelyn is an undergraduate student studying seasonal and spatial variation of inertial oscillations in drifting sea ice on a pan-Arctic scale.
