Stacy Larochelle

I'm a geophysicist interested in the various fluid-solid interactions that affect the stability and dynamics of geophysical systems such as glaciers, aquifers and faults. In the Polar Geophysics group at Lamont, I work with Jonny Kingslake, Meredith Nettles and Laura Stevens on understanding how increasing meltwater levels affect ice sheet dynamics using field- and satellite-based observations, data analysis and modeling.

Fields of Interest

glaciology, hydrology, earthquakes, solid and fluid mechanics, geodesy
