Dr. Gordon Hamilton is an Associate Professor at the University of Maine in both the Department of Earth Sciences and the Climate Change Institute. His research is in ice sheet mass balance and the role ice sheets play in modulating global sea levels. This research involves field work in Greenland and Antarctica, using GPS to study ice flow dynamics and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to understand snow accumulation, as well as satellite remote sensing of both ice sheets and other glaciated regions. In his spare time, Gordon likes exploring the coast and mountains of Maine with his family and playing soccer. For more information, please visit Dr. Hamilton’s faculty page.
