Jack Christopher Landy

Jack Christopher Landy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Technology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, specializing in Earth Observation and Arctic sea ice dynamics. His work integrates satellite altimetry, microwave backscatter, and data assimilation to study climate impacts on polar ice.

Research Focus:

• Arctic sea ice thickness and freeboard estimation
• Snow depth modeling via CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2
• Multi-decadal SAR analysis of ice types
• Climate change effects on ice roughness and transport

Collaborations:

• Torgny Vinje Ice and Climate Laboratory
• INTERAAC (Norway-China air-snow-ice-ocean interactions)
• Multi-institutional Arctic climate projects
