Research Interests
My research interests are in glaciology and paleoclimatology, and the role of the cryosphere in the Earth System.
Specific research topics include: reconstruction of paleoclimates from ice-cores; Holocene climate variability; deglaciation of the West Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets; controls on ice sheet surface melting, mass balance and ice dynamics; role of the Greenland Ice Sheet and West Antarctic Ice Sheet in sea level rise; and the development of remote sensing and field methods to investigate ice sheet processes and recent change.
