Taking Antarctica's Pulse: Using Radar to Study Ice Sheets with Dustin Schroeder

Understanding the behavior of the constantly evolving Antarctic Ice Sheet is critical for projecting and planning for future sea levels. These processes take place beneath kilometers of ice, making them difficult to observe and model. Learn how advances in radar technology and data analysis are enables scientist to see what's happening beneath the ice. Dustin Schroeder is an assistant professor of geophysics and, by courtesy, of electrical engineering. He focuses on observing and understanding the configuration and evolution of ice sheet boundary conditions using radar. Before coming to Stanford, he was a radar systems engineer with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at CalTech. He is a science team member for planetary radars on NASA’s Europa Clipper and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter missions.
