Natalya Gomez is a professor, researcher, cryosphere and sea level expert whose research primarily centers around the interactions between ice sheets, sea level, and earth in the past, present and future. Gomez is a professor at McGill University, a Canada Research Chair in Geodynamics of Ice sheet - Sea level interactions,[1] and received the AGU Cryosphere Early Career Award in 2019.[2]
Academics and career
Gomez received her Bachelor's Degree in Physics, with a Math minor (2006) and her Master's Degree in Geophysics and Environmental Studies (2009) at the University of Toronto. Gomez earned her PhD at Harvard University in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. Her thesis was on sea level and ice sheet interactions, advised by Professor Jerry X. Mitrovica.[3] Gomez’s post doctoral work was done at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Science at New York University. She is currently a professor in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department at McGill University and the Canada Research Chair in the Geodynamics of Ice Sheet - Sea Level interactions.[4]
Gomez’s work draws on climate science, glaciology and global geophysics and aims to model and understand records of the Earth's response to past and ongoing climate change and improve predictions of future sea-level rise as the climate warms.[5]
Gomez attends and speaks at various conferences, workshops, and even festivals including the International Conference on Pale-oceanography (2019),[6] Women in Physics - Canada (2019),[7] the IUGG General Assembly in Montreal (2019).[8]
Awards and grants
- Cryosphere Early Career Award from the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 2019, "given annually to one researcher within 10 years of completing their PhD for outstanding contributions to cryospheric science and technology"[9]
- Nominated vice-chair of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG)'s subsection on Cryospheric Deformation, 2019[10]
