About

Albin Wells is a PhD student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), advised by Dr. David Rounce. He is a proud Pittsburgh native and Taylor Allderdice alum, after which he received an ScB in Mechanical Engineering from Brown University in 2021. His research investigates Alaskan glaciers’ response to climate change. By developing robust approaches rooted in field measurements, he aims to improve large-scale systematic remote sensing and modeled data products. Understanding the drivers of glacier mass loss in Alaska will enhance projections of future mass loss; this has critical implications for water resources, natural hazards, and sea-level rise.
