Dr. Mahoney’s research focuses on landfast and nearshore sea ice dynamics as well as human-sea ice relationships using field measurements and observations, and remote sensing data.
Currently he is involved with the Seasonal Ice Zone Observing Network (SIZONet) and the Mapping and Characterization of Recurring Spring Leads and Landfast ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas project. His research interests also include historic sea ice data and the growth of sea ice under the influence of ice shelves in Antarctica.
