Joanna D. Millstein
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. Recently, I recieved my PhD in Geophysics from the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography and Engineering with a dissertation entitled The Flow and Fracture of Antarctic Ice Shelves.I’m a geophysical glaciologist interested in the movement, stability, and fracture of glacier ice. My research is motivated to resolve the nonlinear physics of glacier ice to better understand future global climate change. I use observational data, from satellites and measurements in the field, to derive mechanical and statistical models for glacier ice processes.
