Professor, Department of Geosciences
Dr. Ellyn Enderlin started at Boise State University in 2019 and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences. She received a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences and a M.S. in Geological Sciences both from The Ohio State University. Her research explores controls on the sensitivity of glaciers to climate change with the aim of making accurate predictions of glacier change in the coming decades so that society is able to prepare for, and hopefully mitigate/minimize the impacts of glacier loss on the Earth system. Dr. Enderlin’s research projects focus on combining remotely-sensed and in situ observations and numerical ice flow modeling to investigate controls on the flow of glaciers that terminate in the oceans (i.e. marine-terminating glaciers). Her primary research interest is in ice-ocean interactions and how changes in the processes occurring at glacier margins influence the rate of glacier mass loss.
