doing research on ice since 1987 when he first went to Greenland to help select the site for the US climate core drilled there. His principal interests are in the evolution and response of ice masses to climate change, and he uses the tools of ice penetrating radar and satellite remote sensing in this research on glaciers and ice sheets around the world. Bob studied physics at the University of California Berkeley and did his dissertation research in high energy particle physics, switching to geophysics and earth science when he came to St. Olaf because of his strong interest in the outdoors and desire to do field research.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to projects in Greenland and Scandinavia, he has been a Principal Investigator in Antarctic field expeditions for more than 25 years and has published numerous papers on ice sheet and glacier dynamics. He has taught in both the physics and environmental science departments at St. Olaf, including courses on global climate change and the history\/ literature of the poles. The Jacobel Glacier on the Sulzberger Coast of West Antarctica is named in honor of his accomplishments. Bob has been a speaker on several National Geographic trips to both poles, starting in 2013 when he first led a St. Olaf program to Antarctica, and looks forward to sharing his experience and expertise with members of another fantastic St. Olaf group.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10802\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"is-style-default wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10802\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/2024-antarctica\/a-jacobel\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/03\/A.-Jacobel.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,2128\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"A.

Allison\u2019s research utilizes records of climate change preserved in marine sediments to reveal past ocean and climate system variability. In particular, she studies microfossils and sediment geochemistry to understand the active role of the deep ocean in carbon storage and its influence on climate over glacial cycles. She is also interested in records of more abrupt climate changes driven by the polar regions.<\/p>\n<p>Allison earned her Ph.D. at Columbia University\u2019s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and has sailed on several oceanographic research expeditions, including a 2017 cruise to Greenland on the Royal Research Ship Discovery. This cruise focused on understanding accelerating modern ice loss and the influence of meltwater release on the ocean-climate system. Allison has been to Antarctica with her dad aboard the Explorer and is excited to return and share her perspective on the role of the oceans in climate change in the Antarctic.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n            <article  class=\"is-style-default accordion__row site-panel__accordion-item \" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" id=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-header-3\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-content-3\">\n        \t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"is-style-default accordion__header site-panel__accordion-title clearfix\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"3\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"title\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n        \t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <span class=\"is-style-default accordion__header-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAll the Details\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n                <div\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-header-3\"\n\t\t\t\t\t class=\"is-style-default accordion__content site-panel__accordion-content context-content t-content \"\t\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-content-3\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"tabpanel\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"3\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"accordion_content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n                >\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"is-style-default accordion__content-inner context-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Click on the image below to view the<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>itinerary<\/li>\n<li>information about the <em>National Geographic Explorer<\/em><\/li>\n<li>cabin categories and fees<\/li>\n<li>inclusions, exclusions, and cancellation policy<\/li>\n<li>and registration form<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/03\/2024-Antarctica-Trip-Summary-and-Registration-Form-1.pdf.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10472\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/2024-antarctica\/trip-summary-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/01\/Trip-Summary.jpg.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"697,902\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Trip Summary.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/01\/Trip-Summary.jpg.jpg\" class=\"is-style-default alignleft size-medium wp-image-10472\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/travel\/files\/2023\/01\/Trip-Summary.jpg-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n            <article  class=\"is-style-default accordion__row site-panel__accordion-item \" role=\"tab\" aria-selected=\"false\" id=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-header-4\" aria-controls=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-content-4\">\n        \t\t<button\n\t\t\t\t\taria-expanded=\"false\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"is-style-default accordion__header site-panel__accordion-title clearfix\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"title\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n        \t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <span class=\"is-style-default accordion__header-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAction Items for Registered Travelers\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n                <\/button>\n                <div\n\t\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-header-4\"\n\t\t\t\t\t class=\"is-style-default accordion__content site-panel__accordion-content context-content t-content \"\t\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-69e61fbc666b4-content-4\"\n\t\t\t\t\trole=\"tabpanel\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-index=\"4\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-autop=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-name=\"accordion_content\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-livetext\n                >\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"is-style-default accordion__content-inner context-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Read and agree to<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd-XfGufeGVqqLMDf3enKIhQ6W3y5Tzp7NEyXzwS22SAXBqrw\/viewform?usp=sf_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terms &amp; Conditions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSft6GVMQzzxLzvCBOrhUvgeY_B23YTEu82mzVs2VEhzWiOxGA\/viewform?usp=sf_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Release &amp; Waiver<\/a>.
