Taryn Black is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland and NASA GSFC. Her research focuses on satellite remote sensing observations of changes to Earth's ice sheets and glaciers. She uses measurements of ice extent and elevation change to study how glaciers are responding to changes in their environment, on seasonal to decadal time scales.
