John Garver, professor of geosciences, has studied ice jams for years. Each winter when ice jams on the Mohawk River and the potential for flooding increases, Garver shares his expertise with local media.

Among the outlets that relied on Garver this winter include the Daily Gazette, WAMC, Northeast Public Radio and WTEN, the local ABC affiliate.

Garver also maintains a blog about the ice jams.

He joined Union in 1989.
