Research:
Artic Geophysics Independent Study August 2017-Present
• Manufacturing and testing of a micro-resistivity array which will be utilized in field work measuring sea ice thickness in
Barrow, Alaska.
• Design and test an active sunshield with a temperature probe utilizing Arduino microcontrollers going to Barrow, Alaska to
measure temperature gradients above the ice. While protecting the probe from absorbing heat from the sunlight and risk ruining
data.
