Maryland State Senator Sarah Elfreth Visits iHARP

Interacting & learning about ground breaking research

Maryland State Senator Elfreth visited the iHARP center at UMBC on October 22, 2024. During her visit, she engaged with researchers and learned about their groundbreaking work.


While at the center, Senator Elfreth experienced the immersive Virtual Ice Museum, created through a collaboration between iHARP and the Imaging Research Center (IRC) at UMBC. This Virtual Ice Museum allows audiences to explore climate change research in a new immersive and interactive format through virtual reality (VR).


We would like to thank the iHARP researchers who shared their work, as well as Ryan Zuber, the IRC Technical Director, for demonstrating the Virtual Ice Museum. We especially appreciate Senator Elfreth for taking the time from her busy schedule to meet with iHARP members and collaborators.
