UTIG Featured in Earth & Space Science News

A vertical aerial view of Yahtse Glacier
In this vertical aerial photo, Yahtse Glacier flows out of Alaska’s St. Elias Range into Icy Bay. White icebergs, calved from Yahtse Glacier, dot the blue-green water of Icy Bay. At the glacier terminus, brown subglacial discharge emerges at the glacier terminus after flowing along the base of the glacier. Subglacial discharge produces ground vibrations that can be detected along the glacier base while promoting fast ice flow — which is subject of Bartholomaus’ research. At the glacier terminus, this water promotes rapid melting of the glacier terminus and leads to calving that creates an embayment on the left side of the glacier. (Phot by Chris Larsen)

 

University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) Research Associate Timothy Bartholomaus had his research published in Geophysical Research Letters in August and his work continues to garner mentions in other publications.

This week, Earth & Space Science News spotlighted Bartholomaus’ research. The story appeared on the front page of the publication’s website. Earth & Space Science News is affiliated with American Geophysical Union, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing geophysics scientistists together.

You can read more about Bartholomaus’ research on the UTIG website by clicking here.
