Keeya Beausoleil

Keeya serves as the social media officer for the Svalbard expedition team. She is a Métis Canadian scholar currently completing her MSc at the University of Idaho, studying subglacial hydrology using seismology. Her research brings an Indigenous and feminist critical lens to glaciology, aiming to deepen our understanding of how geophysics and local knowledge can together support community resiliency to a rapidly deteriorating cryosphere. Her fieldwork has taken her across the globe, studying glaciers in Alaska, British Columbia, and even Svalbard. Beyond the field, she is passionate about fostering diversity within the scientific community and mentoring future Earth advocates. In her free time, Keeya can often be found ski touring, rock climbing, and trail running. She is always seeking new adventures and finding ways to connect with the land.
