Dartmouth College-Associate Professor, Thayer School of Engineering
Hélène Seroussi studies the recent changes of the polar ice sheets and how they are responding the warming climate conditions. Her research interests are focused on better understanding and explaining ongoing changes in the cryosphere, as well as reducing uncertainties in the ice sheet contribution to sea level rise by combining state-of-the-art numerical modeling with remote sensing and in situ observations. Her publications describe the mechanisms and processes controlling ice-ocean interactions and their representation in ice flow models. They highlight the impact of sub-ice shelf melt, calving and grounding line representation on ice sheet dynamic changes and their role in projections of ice sheet contribution to sea level rise.
Hélène is an Associate Professor at Dartmouth College. She graduated from École Centrale Paris (France) in 2008 and received her PhD in 2011 in ice sheet systems numerical modeling and data assimilation from the same university, and worked as a research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory before joining Dartmouth College in 2021. She is one of the co-founders and main developers of the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) and a member of the scientific committee of the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6).
