The UCLA Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering (JIFRESSE) invites applications for a position of Assistant Researcher whose research will focus on Cryospheric State Estimation. The research includes the following activities:
• Develop algorithms and research directions to improve state estimation of polar ice caps (Greenland/Antarctica)
• Calibration/Validation of high performance driven state estimates for Antarctica and Greenland.
• Inclusion of new state estimate approaches into the Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM, issm.jpl.nasa.gov)
• Development of new Machine Learning algorithms towards improved state estimation approaches.
• Calibration of projections of the mass balance of Antarctica and Greenland using state estimates and adjoint approaches.
