Casey Vigilia
Casey Vigilia is a PhD student at UTIG and is interested in using various methods to better understand the processes that control glacier stability and sea level dynamics. Her current work uses numerical models to study sea level and ice sheet interactions during the Last Interglacial. Additionally, she aims to use remote sensing techniques to better understand subglacial sedimentation processes and their impacts on glacier geometry and stability. Casey received a BS in Environmental Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she worked with Dr. Tamara Pico to model interactions between glacial isostatic adjustment and the stability of marine-terminating ice in the Cordilleran ice sheet.
Through her work, Casey aims to unify modern and paleo ice sheet work to better understand the future of ice sheets and sea level changes.
