Meet the Staff
The Patagonian Icefield Research Program is run by a small group of local researchers and guides. However, it is only possible with the generous collaboration of international volunteer faculty, assistants, park rangers, and a welcoming local community. In the field, we typically have six faculty members, a lead guide, an assistant guide, an assistant alumnae, and a park ranger. This team of ten staff members assists ten students (one-to-one ratio) in learning, researching, and living in the wild Patagonian glaciers.
