Matthew Lachniet mlachnie@syr.edu

Organization: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Department: Department of Geoscience

Title: Assistant professor

Specialties: glacial geology, geochronology, paleoclimatology

Current Research: In Alaska, analysis of microstructures observed in thin section of modern and ancient glacial sediments, used as a tool to understand subglacial and sediment flow processes. Additional research has focused on the Quaternary extent and chronology of the Bering Glacier. Prior work on the microstructures of sediment flow deposits was conducted at the Matanuska Glacier.

Kristin Laidre klaidre@apl.washington.edu

Organization: University of Washington

Department: Polar Science Center

Title: Principal Scientist

Current Research: Her research is field-based, largely empirical, and focuses on using quantitative data on individual movements, foraging behavior, and life history of Arctic top predators to understand population dynamics, uniting aspects of behavioral, population, and evolutionary ecology. She is particularly interested in linking individual performance to an animal’s selection for habitat resources and predicting how these relationships will be impacted by climate change. Her questions have been primarily directed at the ecology and management of Arctic marine mammals, specifically cetaceans and polar bears around Greenland. Her interests also include conservation and wildlife management, scaling questions in ecology, and the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to spatial data.
