Understanding Future Sea Level Change by Combining NASA Satellite Observations and Climate Models Using Machine Learning

I am interested in the interactions between our changing climate and the solid Earth. My research is aimed at understanding the gravitational, rotational, and deformational (GRD) effects of glacial isostatic adjustment and present-day ice mass loss so that we can properly isolate climate change signals in satellite observations of sea level.
