Adjunct Associate Professor
About:
Doug Kowalewski is a geomorphologist investigating the dynamic interactions between climate and ice. His research applies a model-data approach to understand past and future climate change in Antarctica and the behavior of the Antarctic Ice Sheets. Kowalewski collaborates with planetary researchers in using shallow geophysical techniques to assess subsurface ice stability on Earth to inform the search for buried ice on Mars and other planets.
