Members of the Holschuh Lab

Nick Holschuh: I am a polar geophysicist and assistant professor of Geology at Amherst College. I’m fascinated by light, sound, and gravity, with a focus on the ways we perceive (as humans) and measure (as scientists) the world around us. I want to understand the rules that govern Earth’s behavior, and use our understanding of those rules to improve decision making as stewards of the planet.
