My name is Brayden White and I am a masters student at the University at Buffalo. I am originally from New Hampshire where I studied Environmental Science in my undergraduate studies. It was in my senior year where I gained interest in the cryosphere, specifically glaciology, which I am studying here at UB. I am particularly interested in rock glaciers and how they respond to changes in climate as well as what influences rock glacier formation. Rock glaciers hold particular importance, now more than ever due to there prominence in the US and lack of research done in the field. Outside of my research, I enjoy various outdoor activities such as biking, climbing, hiking, running, golfing, and I thouroughly enjoy skiing.
