Research Scientist, Arete
Digital Harbor Foundation 3.6
Research technician job in Maryland
Current projections of sea level rise aren't precise enough and potential solutions to mitigate the contributions of land based glaciers to sea level rise are underexplored. We aim to fund and accelerate existing research by increasing investments in Antarctic science as well as by internally developing accurate forecasts of sea level rise and the expected behavior of Antarctic glaciers. To achieve this we leverage state of the art computational methods combining physics and AI on remote sensing and field data.
This role specifically is for the internal development of data driven physics and machine learning methods.
