<div>The research group of Professor Ellen Buckley in the Department of Earth Science and Environmental Change at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is seeking highly motivated graduate students (MS or PhD) to join our team starting Fall 2025.
Research in our group focuses on polar oceanography and remote sensing, with particular emphasis on understanding changes in sea ice properties through advanced high-resolution satellite observations. Key research topics include linking sea ice properties
and dynamics, algorithm development for remote sensing data, and integrating new sensor technologies to monitor the rapidly changing polar regions. </div>
