| After studying engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Mark earned a Ph.D. in Earth System Science from the University of California – Irvine and studied for two years as an ASP Fellow at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He has been a faculty member at the University of Michigan since 2009, where he leads research on cryosphere-climate interactions and teaches courses on topics of climate and radiative transfer. He has authored or co-authored more than 80 journal articles and was named a Highly Cited Researcher in 2018. He has served as a contributing author to the IPCC Fifth and Sixth Assessment Reports on Climate Change, the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, and the UNEP/WMO Integrated Assessment of Black Carbon and Tropospheric Ozone. He currently co-chairs the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) Expert Group on Short-Lived Climate Forcers. He lives in Ann Arbor with his family, and in limited free time enjoys jogging, swimming, table tennis, and photography. |

| I grew up in Los Angeles and obtained an undergraduate degree from UCLA in Environmental Science with a minor in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. Now, as a graduate student at the University of Michigan, I am interested in how abiotic and biotic particles on the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet interact and influence snow and ice melt. My work will focus on modeling the darkening of the Greenland Ice Sheet by algal blooms. In my free time, I enjoy running, cooking, and being outdoors. |
