معرفی
Zoe Courville is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College's Thayer School of Engineering and a Research Mechanical Engineer at CRREL (Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory). Her research focuses on mass transport in porous media, firn microstructure, and polar fieldwork in Antarctica. She holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Denver (1998), an MS in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth (2002), and a PhD in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth (2008).
Her work spans interdisciplinary applications of engineering principles to glaciology and climate science. Notable research includes lattice-Boltzmann modeling of firn air permeability, mechanisms of sea ice melt pond formation, and snow sublimation dynamics. She has conducted extensive fieldwork in polar regions, including Greenland and Antarctica.
Courville has served as a reviewer for journals like the Journal of Glaciology and The Cryosphere, and is a member of the American Geophysical Union. Her publications reflect a strong focus on bridging computational modeling with field observations to advance understanding of cryospheric processes and climate change impacts.
