| | Dr. Alex Gardner from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, will discuss the major limitations in our ability to model glacier change and how radar technologies can be used to make progress in these areas. Alex is a Research Scientist that studies the Earth's cryosphere (frozen Earth) with a particular focus on glaciers and ice sheets and their impacts on sea level rise and water resources.
Alex has been a member of NASA's ICESat-2, NISAR, GRACE, Surface Topography and Vegetation, Surface Deformation and Change, and Sea Level Change Science Teams. He is also involved with many novel initiatives to measure ice on Earth, and elsewhere, including the use of snake-like robots (EELS) to look for life under Enceladus’ icy shell and the Deployable Antarctic SHeet Exploration Rovers (DASHER) to provide a mobile network of in-situ radar sensors for subsurface mapping.

Dr. Alice Le Gall from LATMOS, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin, will present her work on the observation of Saturn’s icy moons in the microwave domain. She will especially focus on Enceladus, showing how the joint analysis of active and passive radar data can reveal thermal anomalies and peculiar subsurface properties. Alice Le Gall is a planetary scientist; she is an expert in radar and radiometry remote sensing of planetary surfaces and subsurfaces. She is a associate member of the Cassini Radar Team and co-I on Dragonfly.
