Dr. Anders Carlson fell in love with glaciers as an undergraduate student while conducting research at Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. After receiving his B.A. in Geology and German from Augustana College, IL, he earned a M.S. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Ph.D. at Oregon State University in glacial geology. Following a postdoc at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, MA, he was a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and then Oregon State University before founding the Oregon Glaciers Institute. Anders has studied glacier-climate change for a quarter of a century in the United States, Canada, Greenland, Svalbard, Scandinavia, Patagonia and Antarctica.
