Sea Level And IceBiography
Dr. Michael Wood is a NASA Postdoctoral Program fellow in the Sea Level and Ice Group. He is interested in how ocean heat delivery to Greenland glaciers has changed over the past several decades and the mechanisms by which these changes have caused glacier mass loss and sea level rise. He uses a combination of approaches in his work including remote sensing, regional ocean modeling, and in situ observations.
