Terry Wilson and her research group and collaborators investigate the structural architecture of Antarctica and the interactions between the solid Earth and the Antarctic ice sheet, using structural field observations, and geophysical and geodetic data.

A pioneer in using GPS to measure bedrock motion in Antarctica, she was instrumental in deployment of the first continental-scale network of remote, autonomous GNSS and seismic instruments there during the International Polar Year, and still heads the Antarctic Network of the Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET) program. Wilson has extensive experience working to create and sustain international programs and collaboration. She was honored by the 2018 SCAR Medal for International Coordination. Terry has led over 25 field expeditions to Antarctica, cumulatively spending over 4 years ‘on the ice’ [so far]. At Ohio State, Terry received multiple awards for teaching. She has been influential in training the next generation of Polar scientists, mentoring over 40 students in Antarctic Research, introducing over 50 students and early career scientists to field work in Antarctica, and organizing multiple international training schools on polar science.
