About

Ken Zhao is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research focuses on the dynamics of glacier ice melt, including boundary layer processes and the interaction of marine mammals with subsurface eddies. He has contributed to studies on turbulent dynamics, parameterizations of ice-ocean interactions, and the physical processes in glacial fjords. His recent publications emphasize the critical role of these interactions in predicting melt rates and glacier dynamics in polar regions.
