November at NASA – To The Poles

https://tothepoles.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/november-at-nasa

December 2, 2016. December 2, 2016. I was lucky enough to spend November working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The purpose was to develop ongoing collaborations with expert glaciologists Johan Nilsson (who joined me in Greenland. In the summer) and Alex Gardner, meet new potential collaborators and present my recent work on “bioalbedo”. And got a tour around some of the labs and talk about potential collaborations. Title page for my JPL talk on “Bio-albedo”. Obligatory summit-selfie with JPL postd...

Challenges in quantifying ‘bioalbedo’. March 5, 2017. Second, are they widespread enough to have ice sheet scale impact? The answer to the first question is a clear yes. That dark materials contaminating an ice surface lower its albedo is not surprising. However, the crucial follow-up question is “by how much? A field camp in the ‘dark zone’ on the Greenland ice sheet, where the surface is darkened by expansive, dense algal blooms along with other impurities. 1 Carotenoids obscuring chlorophyll.

At how – with new marine protected areas and an emerging U.N. treaty – global ocean conservation efforts are on the verge of a major advance. But to enforce these ambitious initiatives, new satellite-based technologies and newly available online data must be harnessed:. The first encouraging policy development is the explosive movement by countries around the w...
