    • Brief Bio

    I am a Maryland native and University of Maryland Baltimore County and University of Maryland alum. I am very passionate about the work I do, and working on fostering the next generation of sea ice scientists by advising post-docs and graduate students from the University of Maryland on top of my other roles and research activities. I also love doing education and communication outreach.

    Research Interests

    Sea ice atmospheric interactions

    I aim to understand sea ice -atmospheric interactions in a rapidly changing Arctic using satellite, reanalysis, and models. I am particularly interested in how a loss of sea ice coverage is affecting the local Arctic atmosphere, and also how episodic weather events (cyclones and moisture intrusions) are affecting the survivability of sea ice parcels from year to year.

    Specifically, using remotely sensed data to study the Arctic sea ice and its interactions with sea surface temperatures, air temperatures and specific humidity. Primary research activities focus on estimating the moisture, latent and sensible heat fluxes of the Arctic sea ice and ocean and improving these measurements over the Arctic sea ice using new parameterizations in the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory model. Expertise in the analysis of various satellite sensor data (e.g. AIRS, SSM/I, AMSR-E, AVHRR).

    Selected Public Outreach

    Arctic Moisture on the Move 4 / 2015 - Present
    http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=85624  Scientists such as NASA’s Linette Boisvert want to know how this decline is contributing to a warmer and wetter Arctic.
    Arctic Climate Change Marked by Warmer Wetter Conditions 8 / 2015 - Present
    http://www.earthmagazine.org/article/arctic-climate-change-marked-warmer-wetter-conditions  This causes the Arctic to absorb more sunlight, adding heat to the ocean and causing the increased evaporation, reported Linette Boisvert, a research scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
    As sea ice shrinks, the Arctic becomes warmer and wetter, study finds 8 / 2015 - Present
    http://www.adn.com/article/20150809/sea-ice-shrinks-arctic-gets-warmer-and-wetter-study-fi  November saw the biggest increases in “skin temperature” (defined as temperature at the Earth’s surface), and air temperature, with an average annual rise of 0.42 degrees Celsius on the surface and 0.32 degrees Celsius in the air, said the study, by Linette Boisvert of the NASA-affiliated Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland.
    NSIDC, NASA Say Arctic Melt Season Lengthening, Ocean Rapidly Warming 3 / 2014 - Present
    https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/nsidc-nasa-say-arctic-melt-season-lengthening-ocean-r  "If air and ocean temperatures are similar, the ocean is not going to lose heat to the atmosphere as fast as it would when the differences are greater," said Linette Boisvert, co-author of the paper and a cryospheric scientist at Goddard. "In the last years, the upper ocean heat content is much higher than it used to be, so it’s going to take a longer time to cool off and for freeze up to begin."
    Sea Ice Near Greenland 8 / 2015 - Present
    http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=86322
    February continues streak of record low Arctic sea ice extent - NSIDC Sea Ice News 2 / 2016 - 2 / 2016
    https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2016/03/february-continues-streak-of-record-low-arctic-

    Arctic sea ice was at a satellite-record low for the second month in a row. The first three weeks of February saw little ice growth, but extent rose during the last week of the month. Arctic sea ice typically reaches its maximum extent for the year in mid to late March.

    Extremely Warm 2015-’16 Winter Cyclone Weakened Arctic Sea Ice Pack 11 / 2016 - Present
    https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/extremely-warm-2015-16-winter-cyclone-weakened-a

    A large cyclone that crossed the Arctic in December 2015 brought so much heat and humidity to this otherwise frigid and dry environment that it thinned and shrunk the sea ice cover during a time of the year when the ice should have been growing thicker and stronger, a NASA study found.
