Trevor R. Hillebrand Postdoctoral Research Trevor R. Hillebrand Postdoctoral Research Associate Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group Los Alamos National Laboratory [email protected] https://trevorhillebrand.wixsite.com/home https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3535-1540 Research Interests I investigate the past, present, and future of Earth’s ice sheets using data-constrained numerical models of ice flow with the goal of improving estimates of future sea-level rise. As a postdoctoral researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I investigate future sea-level rise from mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet using the finite-element MALI ice sheet model run on high-performance computing platforms. I collect geophysical and geological data through fieldwork and remote sensing campaigns in Antarctica and other glaciated regions, and I incorporate these measurements into numerical models in order to better understand ice-sheet sensitivity to climate.

Students Mentored Abby Roat, Colorado College (Summer 2020 to present). Project Title: Investigating the impacts of channelized subglacial hydrology on melt rates at the margin of Humboldt Glacier in northern Greenland. Abby’s 10-week summer project culminated in an abstract submitted to the 2020 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. She is continuing this project towards a senior thesis, co-advised by myself and Dr. Christine Siddoway. Teaching Experience As visiting faculty at Colorado College Fall 2020 Evolution and stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet In this intensive 3.5-week long course — co-taught with Dr. Christine Siddoway — I taught the fundamentals of glaciology and ice-sheet modeling. I guided advanced undergraduates through design, implementation, and analysis of numerical model experiments using a state-of-the-art ice sheet model for comparison with their stratigraphic and isotopic analyses of new sediment cores from the margin of West Antarctica.
