MacKenzie Jewell
Hi there! I'm a PhD student in the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University.
My research interests include sea ice dynamics, air-sea-ice interactions, remote sensing, and Arctic climate.
I am currently a NASA FINESST fellow, and am working on a project aiming to improve our understanding
of the drivers of short-term sea ice deformation events, as well as their contributions to longer-term changes to the Arctic sea ice cover.
