Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

 

A few days ago we lost a very special person in the sea ice community.  Katharine Giles became an APECS member in 2008 and after participating as an active young researcher, she continued her role as a wonderful mentor in our organization as a research fellow and lectuer at the University College London (UCL).  Dr. Giles became an instrumental asset to to the community with her work with satellite altimetry on sea ice freeboard from CryoSAT-2, along with her late collegue Seymour Laxon.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family during this difficult time.
