Ongoing Research Projects
Mountain Glacier Contribution to Sea Level CE 1900-2100
Providing robust and accurate predictions of mountain glacier melt rates across the globe together with its contribution to Sea Level Rise on the global and local scale, and to evaluate the first order impacts of glacier change on societies. Learn more about the project here
GreenDrill
Read about our project to collect bedrock cores from beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. These cores will help us determine the last time the Greenland Ice Sheet disappeared.
We Support JEDI
We believe in Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Geosciences, one of the least diverse STEM communities in the US and beyond. We recognize that we failed Sciences and our community over the last decades, and define the JEDI goals as central challenges for our community, for Lamont and for the Cosmo Group. We endorse the Lamont Black Lives Matter-Anti-Racism commitment as well as the Lamont Code of Conduct.
