James Kirkham

Biography

I am a PhD student working in the Palaeo Environments, Ice Sheets and Climate Change team at BAS, and at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. My current research uses marine geophysical techniques to reconstruct the movement of water beneath the late Quaternary ice sheets. I also have an active interest in high-altitude snow dynamics and the water cycle of the Himalayas.
