As a current PhD candidate, I am using the … As a current PhD candidate, I am using the continental margin sediment record in Southeastern Alaska to investigate climate and tectonic interactions in the St. Elias Mountains and how these interactions impact where concentrated glacial erosion occurs. As the St. Elias is a young and tectonically active mountain range, the location where large amounts of mass are removed and then redeposited may have an impact on the overall tectonic structure of the range. Sediment provenance is used to investigate if climate or tectonic forces exert a greater control over the locus of glacial erosion. If climate has the greatest control, provenance varies between glacial and interglacial periods as glaciers advance onto the continental shelf and then retreat, if tectonic forces have the greatest influence, erosion should be consistently concentrated in regions of mechanically weakened rock (i.e. fault zones). </br></br>My interest in attending the CTSP meeting is two-fold. Firstly, I’d like to be able to share my research on climate-tectonic interactions in a glacial setting with the community by presenting a poster at the meeting. The paper on this project is in prep and will most likely not be published by the time of the meeting, making this information otherwise unavailable. As the goal of this meeting is to produce a white paper, having the most up to date research is critical. In addition, it will also present me with an opportunity to solicit feedback on my work before publishing. Secondly, I am nearing graduation and am beginning to look for postdoc positions. By attending this meeting I will be able to network with other scientists who share similar research interests, with whom I may be able to work with during a post-doc. Attendance will also help me better understand the direction that future climate-tectonic interaction research is headed, which will assist me in directing my future research.assist me in directing my future research. +
