I am a masters student studying glacier-ocean interactions in the Canadian Arctic using both oceanographic observations as well as a high resolution sea ice-ocean model of the Arctic and Northern Hemisphere Atlantic ocean. My work provides understanding on how glacier meltwater is altering ocean structure near marine-terminating glaciers and how glacially-derived freshwater is contributing to the overall Arctic freshwater system.
