Senior🎓
Top SchoolTasha Snow is an Assistant Research Scientist with 11 years of multidisciplinary experience applying remote sensing, altimetry, thermal infrared imagery, and machine learning to study glacier–ocean systems in Greenland and Antarctica. She co-founded and leads CryoCloud, building cloud-native JupyterHub infrastructure and community standards that help geoscientists scale reproducible, cost-effective analyses. Currently on the NASA ICESat-2 project science team and co-leading SWOT’s Cryosphere Working Group, she bridges operational satellite science and open, cloud-first workflows. Her background spans paleoceanography to phytoplankton genetics, giving her a systems-level perspective that informs novel uses of satellite SSTs and ML for subsurface process inference. A US Navy veteran, she pairs mission-focused leadership and mentorship with technical fluency in Python, machine learning, and geospatial toolchains.
