“Aaron combines first-rate mountaineering and teaching skills with a significant record of scientific accomplishment. Unlike many mountaineers who support scientific expeditions, Aaron is a scientist. He has first-author scientific publications and a solid grounding in research. He fully understands the difficulties and problems that often arise in making real-world measurements in harsh environments.”
— Dr. Benjamin D. Santer; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, U.S. National Academy of Sciences
Aaron has been a HUGE asset for my research group’s scientific expeditions in backcountry Greenland. In addition to keeping my team safe with his impressive backcountry skillset, he is a wonderful, upbeat and energetic team player. Aaron works very well with diverse teams, from highly experienced field scientists to students who are completely new to field work. I asked my team what words they’d use to describe Aaron and recurring answers were “flexible,” “resourceful,” “skilled,” “hard-working,” “patient,” and “a great teacher.” I agree with one former postdoc, now a professor, who said, “if I had the budget, I would hire him for all of my field excursions.”
