Jessica Scheick

Jessica Scheick is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire's Earth Systems Research Center, specializing in glaciology, remote sensing, and climate science. She leads the icepyx open-source library for ICESat-2 data and coordinates the University of Washington eScience Institute's Hackweek team.

Education:

• Ph.D., Earth and Climate Sciences, University of Maine
• A.B., Geology and Mathematics, Bryn Mawr College

Research Interests:

Her work focuses on glaciological research (icebergs, ice-ocean interactions), open-source software development (e.g., icepyx library), and climate justice initiatives. She advocates for environmental justice and science education, emphasizing reproducible workflows and collaborative tools.

Articles Trends:

Her publications emphasize software engineering for geoscience applications (e.g., ICESat-2 data analysis), glaciological field observations, and remote sensing techniques in polar environments. Recent work bridges climate science with open-source tool development for oceanographic and glaciological studies.

Advising & Collaborations:

While no formal advisees are listed, she collaborates widely on open science initiatives and maintains active roles in software development communities. She leads the icepyx project and contributes to interdisciplinary teams at NASA and the eScience Institute.

Labs/Teams:

• Earth Systems Research Center (UNH)
• eScience Institute's Hackweek Team (University of Washington)
