Twila Moon is a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center known for her work on the Greenland ice sheet.

Education and career

Moon has a B.S. from Stanford University (2004) and an M.S. from the University of Washington (2008). [1] She earned her Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Washington where she worked on ice mass loss from a Greenland glacier. [2] Following her Ph.D. she did postdoctoral work at the National Snow and Ice Data Center and the University of Oregon before joining the National Snow and Ice Data Center as a research scientist in 2017. [3] [1]

Research

Moon is best known for her research on the Greenland ice sheet. Her early research examined the position of the ice sheet, [4] [5] and the change in the movement of the glacier. [6] She has examined how water produced at the bottom of icebergs contributes to the freshwater found in Greenland's fjords, [7] and defines the impact of the loss of the Greenland ice sheet on sea level rise. [8] She is part of the group working to establish long-term observations of the Greenland ice sheet. [9] Moon has examined the data quantifying the loss of ice from the Greenland ice sheet, [10] and shares these results via conversations with the media [11] and the United States House of Representatives. [12] She speaks on climate change with multiple venues in the media, [13] [14] and is a co-author of Arctic report card. [15] Moon has spoken about the border between being a scientist and being an activist in the realm of climate science. [16]
