Group Members
In our group, we strive to create a welcoming, inclusive, supportive and respectful environment for research and learning for students and researchers from all backgrounds and levels of experience. In addition to group meetings focused on research projects, we also hold regular social gathering and outings (see photos below).

Alex Ihle
PhD Candidate
Research Interests
I am interested in improving our understanding of how past climates are preserved in ice cores. In my free time I ride my bike and think about how nice it would be to have a cat.
