Faculty/Staff – in the news (this is not comprehensive)
OSU Research News, May 24. Two Greenland Glaciers Lose Enough Ice to Fill Lake Erie. "A new study aimed at refining the way scientists measure ice loss in Greenland is providing a "high‐definition picture" of climate‐caused changes on the island. And the picture isn't pretty. In the last decade, two of the largest three glaciers draining that frozen landscape have lost enough ice that, if melted, could have filled Lake Erie." The study is led by Ian Howat and Yushin Ahn.
The Big Ten Network, April 26. Game Changers, Episode 105, produced by WOSU. Host Brittany Westbrook highlights stories of innovation from The Ohio State University. Lonnie Thompson and Ellen Mosley‐Thompson, two pioneers of climate research at Ohio State, explain their amazing ice core discoveries, the challenges of a typical drilling expedition and the physical demands of collecting history to document the realities of global climate science and advocate for cleaner energy solutions.
Quirks & Quarks, April 2. Mummified Forest. The award‐winning radio science program of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed Joel Barker about his research of a mummified forest at the north end of Ellesmere Island in Canada.
NBC Learn, March 18. Melting Mountain Glaciers. Lonnie Thompson is interviewed for a video segment on NBC Learn, covering the retreat of glaciers on Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Bryan Mark named as an award winner in the Undergraduate Research Mentor competition
Polar archives (new acquisitions) acquired and accessioned approximately 50 cubic feet of manuscripts, photos and artifacts
Laura Kissel served as content consultant for polar book, Endurance, by Kristin Johnson. Edina, MN: ABDO Publishing Co., 2011
Yushin Ahn (Howat and Box) received a tenure track faculty position at Michigan Tech
Kostas Andreadis (Alsdorf) has taken a Research Scientist position at JPL
Sarah Fortner received a faculty position (Asst. Professor of Environmental Geosciences) at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH. She starts in January 2012
Sarah also served as co‐editor for a special issue of Applied Geochemistry – ‘Sources, transport and fate of trace and toxic elements in the environment’. Sarah also served as a State Science Fair judge
Henry Brecher participated in field work in Peru, Quelccaya this past summer as part of Lonnie Thompson’s expedition. He took a new set of terrestrial photographs of QoriKalis Glacier and will be plotting a new map from these. Henry will also celebrate his 50 th
anniversary at the BPRC in January 2012!
Ian Howat received an “Editor’s Citation for Excellence in Refereeing” from AGUHe received a 2010 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) this fall (awarded during an event at the Whitehouse).
Nathan Stansell received a grant from Keck Undergraduate Consortium to mentor undergraduates. His team took 4 UGs from four different colleges/universities to Peru this past summer. He will also supervise their theses projects over this academic year.
Michael Durand authored a paper selected for the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society 2011 J‐STARS Prize Paper Award, entitled, “Estimating River Depth from Remote Sensing Swath Interferometry Measurements of River Height.”
Ellen Mosley‐Thompson elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences
