Holocene fluctuations of the western Greenland Ice Sheet
We are using 10Be to date the Holocene history of the Jakobshavn ice margin in western Greenland. [project webiste]

Dating Pleistocene and Holocene glaciation in Alaska
We are using 10Be to date moraines in Alaska; current research is focused on out of phase glaciation across the state, and Holocene glaciation in central Alaska.

Ice sheet dynamics and landscape evolution
We employ cosmogenic isotope and thermochronologic techniques to reconstruct ice sheet erosion patterns, basal thermal regimes, and landscape evolution in arctic fjord landscapes.

Arctic ice cap growth and decay
In-situ 14C in terrains covered by the re-growth of Holocene ice caps reveals the duration of Holocene ice cover. [link to 2007 abstract]  

Ice sheet dynamics in New York
Analyzing subglacial flow lineations from the micron-scale to the km-scale is providing new insights into the glacial history of New York. [link to Hess' website]
