Christopher Halsted



Chris Halsted is a doctoral candidate in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, a graduate research fellow at the Gund Institute for Environment, and a member of the NSF/UVM Cosmogenic Community Facility. His graduate research focuses on ice sheet reconstructions and the refinement of cosmogenic exposure dating techniques, but he has a background in paleoclimatology and glacial geomorphology. In the Cosmogenic Community Facility, Chris assists Lee with day-to-day operations and helps visitors with their sample processing.
