First-to-college stories and radar glaciology
Stanford Earth's Summer Undergraduate Research for Geoscience and Engineering (SURGE) program brought geophysicist Dusty Schroeder together with Kathy Vega, now an engineering student at University of Colorado.
Geophysicist Dusty Schroeder and University of Colorado engineering student Kathy Vega, a 2017 Stanford Earth SURGE participant and glaciology researcher for Schroeder, talk about their first-to-college experiences and their field of radioglaciology and cryospheric science in a radio interview for AGU 100 StoryCorps. Their work adds to our understanding of Earth processes and climate change.
