Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJessica Mejia is a research scientist and glacial hydrologist with nine years of experience deploying field instrumentation, processing complex datasets, and modeling ice dynamics to understand glacier and ice-sheet responses to climate warming. With a PhD in Geosciences and a track record spanning postdoctoral research and long-term field campaigns on the Greenland and Alaskan ice sheets, she combines hands-on measurements (moulin water levels, ice motion) with quantitative analysis and modelling. Based in Syracuse, NY, she bridges seismology-informed geophysics and cryosphere science—bringing techniques from her MS in geophysics and early tremor studies into glacial hydrology. Jessica is particularly adept at turning noisy, logistically difficult field data into interpretable signals about subglacial drainage and sliding behavior, informing projections of ice loss under continued warming.
