Brief Bio


Allison Chartrand is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Maryland Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC) and NASA GSFC. Allison was awarded a PhD from the Ohio State University in August 2023, where her dissertation was focused on remote sensing of ice shelves in Greenland and Antarctica. As a NASA FINESST-supported student at the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, Allison investigated the evolution of ice shelf structure and stability due to the presence of sub-ice shelf meltwater plumes called basal channels. At ESSIC and GSFC, she continues to investigate subglacial conditions, but has shifted her focus to inverse numerical modeling of the Greenland ice sheet to investigate the subglacial topography as part of the Greenland-scape team.
