Snow4Flow: Studying Glaciers From Arizona

Snow4Flow is a new University of Arizona-led NASA mission to study arctic glaciers using advanced radar mounted on low-flying aircraft. Captained by Jack Holt, a professor at the University of Arizona’s Lunar & Planetary Lab, the mission’s goal is to improve climate modeling and to better understand glacial loss and its impact on sea level rise.

Photometric and visible to near-infrared spectral characterization of space objects as applied to both Space Situational Awareness and the study of small bodies in the solar system.

Advisor(s): Vishnu Reddy

Adam is received his PhD from the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona in Dec. 2024. His research focuses on visible spectral observations and photometry of various space objects, especially those in proximity to Earth. Past projects  have included a spectral atlas of geostationary satellites, the first detection of shock darkening on a near-Earth asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, and long-term NIR spectral monitoring of active asteroid (6478) Gault. His current research focuses determining the rotation state of NEAs in support of radar observations.
