Ellen Buckley
Ellen Buckley started working with the Sea Ice and Polar Dynamics Science Team at the NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry in Fall 2017. She is a PhD student at the University of Maryland, College Park, in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, and is advised by Dr. Sinead Farrell. Ellen is interested in the remote sensing of sea ice using data from the NASA ICESat-2 mission. Ellen received a bachelor’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2014 and a master’s degree in Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology from Stanford University in 2015.

Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites, University of Maryland, College Park
Faculty Research Assistant
Julia M. Ruth is an undergraduate at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA due to receive her B.S. in Physics in May 2014. From June 2012 to August 2012, Julia completed an internship in the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA. Since October 2012, she has been with the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland based at the NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry, College Park, Maryland, completing an internship in remote sensing of sea ice. Her research interests include active remote sensing, signal processing, and polar climate change. In April 2014 she received a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship and intends to pursue graduate study at the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
