[Geolalumni] [Geoldept] Invited Speaker Seminar: Dr. Huw Mithan, 5/21, ES 100

[Casey Saenger]

If anyone would like to meet with Huw, please sign up for a slot using the link below. I will especially encourage students, even those not working in geomorphology, to take this opportunity to share what they are working on.

I acknowledge that I live and work on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples. I express my respect and gratitude for our Indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.

Hi everyone,
Please join us for the Invited Speaker Seminar on Tuesday, May 21, at 4pm with Dr. Huw Mithan (University of Washington)! Topic: “Cryosphere Geomorphology”
The seminar will be in ES 100 at 4pm, followed by a cheese and crackers reception from 5-6pm in the ES Atrium (first floor of the ES Building).
About Huw: I explore the impact of accelerating permafrost thawing on geomorphological processes in Arctic landscapes. My focus is to uncover the subsurface mechanisms that drive landslide processes on Arctic hillslopes and how this influences their spatial extent and temporal evolution. By integrating field measurements, geotechnical modelling, interferometric synthetic aperture radar techniques, and digital terrain model analysis from sites in Alaska and on Svalbard, I aim to enhance our understand of the topographical controls and ground-ice conditions that shape landslide processes in frozen terrains.
