Heidi Roop grew up exploring the formerly glaciated landscape of Wisconsin, and today continues her love for studying glaciers and climate change through her research focused on reconstructing the glacial and climatic history of two watersheds in the Ahklun Mountains of Alaska. This is Ms. Roop's fourth field season in Alaska where prolonged rain cannot dampen her spirits or her love of fieldwork! This will be Heidi's third experience with PolarTREC, and she is thrilled to share her passion and excitement with Ms. Peterson and her students.
