Opening for a funded PhD student Research Assistant position involving the development of scalable data processing and data fusion pipelines to create precise, high-resolution surface elevation change time series from archives of stereo satellite imagery (Maxar, Planet, BlackSky), satellite laser altimetry data (ICESat-2, GEDI), and airborne LiDAR data. Science questions focus on understanding how different components of the Earth’s cryosphere are evolving under ongoing climate change, including (but not limited to) seasonal snow, glaciers and ice sheets, and high-mountain natural hazards.
