Dr. Casey investigates black carbon, dust and debris geology and geochemistry in the cryosphere via remotely sensed and in situ measurements. These studies aid in the understanding of particulate provenance, sediment cycling and radiative impacts. She is adept in use of remote sensing observations to map ice radiance, stratigraphy, geochemistry, and atmospheric influences. She has experience in analytical chemistry techniques, including ice core and surface ice composition characterization. Her field experience includes ice core retrieval, and ground penetrating radar acquisition in Antarctica. She has conducted field work and led observation campaigns at glaciers and ice sheets on all 7 continents on Earth.
Dr. Casey started her science career with research fellowships at Washington University (1996-1999), University of Maryland (1997), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (1998) and then as a cryospheric support scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md (2000). In 2008, she moved to Oslo, Norway, accepting a European Space Agency sponsored Ph.D. fellowship to improve satellite remote sensing of Earth's glaciers. She received her Ph.D. in remote sensing geoscience from the Department of Geosciences at the University of Oslo, Norway in 2011. During her Ph.D. research, Dr. Casey studied six glacier sites around the world; from volcanically influenced glaciers in Iceland and New Zealand to dust-influenced glaciers in Nepal and Switzerland to bare-ice and soot-influenced glaciers in Svalbard and southern Norway. Her results demonstrate that satellite data can be used to map the geochemical composition of glacier dust and debris. She returned to NASA Goddard in November 2011.

Dr. Casey continues her work on hyperspectral satellite and field based analysis and is involved with the upcoming PACE instrument development, as well as SAGE Arctic black carbon and impurity analysis of the Greenland ice sheet.
