/PRNewswire/ -- The Arctic Ice Project research non-profit
announced Stephanie Olinger has
joined the team as technical director. She brings a wealth of
experience and a deep passion for climate science action.
Olinger, who holds a Ph.D. in cryospheric geophysics from
Harvard University and was a Thompson
Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford
University, brings a strong background in geophysical
systems to further its environmental mission.
"Joining the Arctic Ice Project is an exciting opportunity to
apply my expertise in a way that has direct, tangible impacts on
climate mitigation," Olinger said. "I am committed to advancing our
understanding of Arctic Sea ice and developing innovative solutions
to address the urgent challenges of climate change."
In her new role, Olinger is leading research and development
initiatives focused on Arctic Sea ice albedo modification. This
strategy aims to mitigate climate change by increasing the
reflectivity of iceberg surfaces and reduce growing heat
absorption.
The Arctic Ice Project works to deploy reflective materials to
slow the melting of icebergs and combat global warming. By
enhancing ice surface reflectivity, the research aims to reduce
heat absorption and contribute to global climate stability.
Olinger's expertise in remotely sensed and in-situ observations,
combined with her work in mathematical ice physics models is
instrumental in advancing the project's goals.
