Publications

I have mostly published in leading journals from 1978 to the present, as either the primary or secondary author.  My primary publications include articles on GPR dynamics, the electrical properties of sediments, and the structures of glaciers, ice sheets, lake sediments, permafrost, and sea ice. My articles mostly concern research done in Alaska and Antarctica.  The leading journals are Journal of Geophysical Research, Geophysics, Journal of Glaciology, and Journal of Applied Geophysics. I was an Assistant Editor, Associate Editor and Special Editor for Geophysics for 11 years and was awarded citations for outstanding editor of the year for Geophysics and for Water Resources Research. I have mentored 20 graduate students and have served as adjunct professor at Dartmouth, the University of Connecticut and the University of Maine.
