Alison is the Director of the Canadian Ice Core Lab (CICL) at University of Alberta. She is an ice core scientist with extensive field experience on glaciers in Antarctica, the Canadian high Arctic, Greenland, Alaska, and the Canadian Rockies. Broadly, her research uses new polar ice core records to learn how the marine influence on coastal ice caps and ice sheets has changed over time, and how remote atmospheric dynamics impact regional and local processes and climate. Ultimately, this work helps projections of future contributions of polar ice caps to global sea level, and is extremely valuable in advancing our understanding of the complex and coupled ocean-ice-atmosphere system.
