Joseph Graly



Joseph came to the UVM Geology Department in January 2008. His work focused on the Greenland Ice Sheet and the bedrock beneath. He worked with Profs. Paul Bierman, Tom Neumann, and fellow master's student, Lee Corbett on an NSF-funded project to analyze the climate history of western Greenland through detrital cosmochronology and ice flow modeling.
