Snow4Flow is a new University of Arizona-led NASA mission to study arctic glaciers using advanced radar mounted on low-flying aircraft. Captained by Jack Holt, a professor at the University of Arizona’s Lunar & Planetary Lab, the mission’s goal is to improve climate modeling and to better understand glacial loss and its impact on sea level rise.

Adam is received his PhD from the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona in Dec. 2024. His research focuses on visible spectral observations and photometry of various space objects, especially those in proximity to Earth. Past projects have included a spectral atlas of geostationary satellites, the first detection of shock darkening on a near-Earth asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, and long-term NIR spectral monitoring of active asteroid (6478) Gault. His current research focuses determining the rotation state of NEAs in support of radar observations.
