About

Jennifer Stone, PhD, is an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Washington. She received her graduate degree in anatomy and neurobiology from Boston University School of Medicine in 1993 and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Washington. Dr. Stone has held positions as assistant research professor, associate research professor, and research professor at the university, and since 2016 has served as the director of research for the department. Her research focuses on areas related to speech and hearing sciences, with particular emphasis on auditory perception, neurodevelopmental diversity, and speech physiology and motor control. Her work contributes to understanding the neural and anatomical bases of communication disorders, and she is actively involved in research labs and projects that explore language development, auditory processing, and motor speech disorders.

• Rapid early‐Holocene deglaciation in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

  Geophysical Research Letters · 2017-07-26 · 105 citations

  article

  Abstract Deglaciation of the Ross Sea following the last ice age provides an important opportunity to examine the stability of marine ice sheets and their susceptibility to changing environmental conditions. Insufficient chronology for Ross Sea deglaciation has helped sustain (i) the theory that this region contributed significantly to Meltwater Pulse 1A (MWP‐1A) and (ii) the idea that Ross Sea grounding‐line retreat occurred in a “swinging gate” pattern hinged north of Roosevelt Island. We pres…

• Thickness of the divide and flank of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet through the last deglaciation

  articleOpen accessCorresponding

  Abstract. We report cosmogenic-nuclide measurements from two isolated groups of nunataks in West Antarctica: the Pirrit Hills, located midway between the grounding line and the divide in the Weddell Sea sector, and the Whitmore Mountains, located along the Ross–Weddell divide. At the Pirrit Hills, evidence of glacial-stage ice cover extends ∼320 m above the present ice surface. Subsequent thinning mostly occurred after ∼14 kyr BP, and modern ice levels were established some time after ∼4 kyr BP.…

• West Antarctic sites for subglacial drilling to test for past ice-sheet collapse

  ˜The œcryosphere · 2018-08-24 · 35 citations

  articleOpen accessCorresponding

  Abstract. Mass loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is increasing, and there is concern that an incipient large-scale deglaciation of the marine basins may already be underway. Measurements of cosmogenic nuclides in subglacial bedrock surfaces have the potential to establish whether and when the marine-based portions of the WAIS deglaciated in the past. However, because most of the bedrock revealed by ice-sheet collapse would remain below sea level, shielded from the cosmic-ray flux, dr…
