Weddell Sea ice sheet and climate
Studying ice response during past climate changes improves understanding of Antarctic ice sheet dynamics. This knowledge helps predict how ice sheets may behave under future warming scenarios.

After completing an undergraduate degree in physics at the University of York, in 2009 I moved to the University of Sheffield to start a PhD with Felix Ng in the Department of Geography modelling ice-dammed lake drainage.
In 2013 I started my current position at BAS as a postdoctoral researcher on a NERC-funded project led by Richard Hindmarsh. We are using modelling and radar to investigate ice divide flow within ice rises in the Ronne Ice Shelf.
