What's hot in the news around climate and sea ice and what are scientists talking about now? Bruce Raup
Senior Associate Scientist
M.S. in Geology (ice sheet modeling), University of Colorado, 1995
B.S. in Engineering Physics, Washington University in St. Louis, 1987
Remote sensing of glaciers; geographic information systems and software development; Web-based client interfaces; metadata; data tool development; algorithm development
- Director of the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) international initiative
- Contribution to High Asia Runoff from Ice and Snow (CHARIS) Oversees the evaluation and use of existing and new outlines for derivation of glacier hypsometries, and ensures that new glacier outlines are inserted into the NSIDC GLIMS Glacier Database. Organizes and reformats field data from NSIDC partners.
- Leads the data management for the NASA-funded project High Mountain Asia (HMA)
ACTIVITIES:
Member, International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) Working Group on glacier inventories
Member, International Glaciological Society
