Byron Parizek

Byron Parizek is an Associate Professor at The Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Geosciences department. He contributes to the Penn State Ice and Climate Exploration (PSICE) group, an interdisciplinary team focused on understanding the cryosphere, particularly glaciers and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.

The PSICE group's research integrates fieldwork, computational modeling, and laboratory experiments to project future sea-level changes. Their work examines ice flow dynamics across regions with varying velocities, from <3 m/yr (purple) to >1000 m/yr (brown), and collaborates with institutions like the Earth and Environmental Sciences Institute.
