Dr. John Paden is taking off to the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica to help setup CReSIS radars in McMurdo for the GHOST* Thwaites traverse. Thwaites Glacier is one of the largest and fastest changing glaciers in Antarctica and this traverse will improve predictions of future changes. He will also do some work on EAGER** radars.
