About Matt

Matt came to Alaska with the coast guard in 1973, choosing Alaska over San Francisco. Matt was a graduate student under Carl Bensen at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. After completing his PhD, he worked for the next 27 years for the US Army Cold Region Lab in Fairbanks. Matt now has a position at the Geophysical Institute to continue his snow research. As Matt says: “It’s pretty much a little bit of glaciers, ice and snow for more than 30 years.”
