The Ice & Ocean Group is a research group in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia focused on ice sheet marginal, subglacial environment, and polar ocean environments. Glacial activity produces to distinct sediments and landforms preserved in deglaciated landscapes that we study, allowing for ice-sheet reconstructions and understanding of processes that impact ice-sheet change. Funding for our research comes from the NSF Office of Polar Programs, International Union for Quaternary Research, UVA H.G. Goodell Endowment, and UVA Committee on Sustainability. |
