EESI Centers

Center for Penn State Ice and Climate Research

Richard Alley and Sridhar Anandakrishnan, Directors

The Center for Penn State Ice and Climate Research integrates glaciology, seismology, modeling and climatology.

Their mission is to

Unite Penn State's polar researchers under one roof;
Encourage new interdisciplinary projects;
Establish an internationally-respected Fellow position;
Establish a vibrant and dynamic web presence for Polar studies at PSU; and
Act as an interface to the CReSIS Science and Technology Center.

The largest potential contribution to sea-level change is from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets. Penn State has premier researchers working on different aspects of this problem. The poles offer unprecedented opportunities for researchers in remote sensing, high energy physics, biology, atmospheric chemistry, etc. Penn State has premier researchers who haven't fully exploited available partnerships within PSU.

'Cutting Edge' PSICE Research Workshop has been scheduled for June 2-4, 2008
