Johnson Mesa, James Ross Island, Antarctica

In January 2007, the Antarctic Place-Names Committee named a feature on James Ross Island, Antarctica after me. The SCAR Gazetteer description is:

Johnson Mesa 63 49’40”S, 57 55’22”W Large mesa north of Abernethy Flats, between Crame Col and Bibby Point, Ulu Peninsula, James Ross Island. It was named after Dr Joanne S Johnson (b.1977), BAS geochemist. Her work led to a completely new proxy for recognising past ice sheets using alteration mineral chemistry.

Research interests

From 2018-2023 I am UK lead Principal Investigator on the GHC project, which is part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration funded by NERC and NSF. “GHC” is short for “Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier System“. My co-PIs are Brent Goehring (US lead PI; Tulane University, USA), Dylan Rood (Imperial College London), John Woodward (Northumbria University), Greg Balco (Berkeley Geochronology Center, USA), and Brenda Hall and Seth Campbell (both University of Maine, USA. To listen to an interview with me and Ted Scambos about the programme for BBC Inside Science, click here.

 

From 2015-2020 I am Principal Investigator on a NERC standard grant (NE/K012088/1) entitled:

“Reconstructing millennial-scale ice sheet change in the western Amundsen Sea Embayment, Antarctica, using high-precision exposure dating”

My Co-Investigators are Steve Roberts (BAS) and Dylan Rood (Imperial). The project also involves Joerg Schaefer (Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University), David Pollard (Pennsylvania State University), and Pippa Whitehouse (Durham) as Project Partners, and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre. Steve Roberts and I undertook fieldwork around Mt Murphy in November 2015-January 2016.

I am also working on:

  • Exploring feedbacks between glaciation, volcanism and climate in Antarctica: studying CO2 outgassing from the James Ross Island lavas using melt inclusions in olivines – with Marie Edmonds (Cambridge) and John Smellie (Leicester), funded by a BAS Collaboration voucher
  • Determining Quaternary glacial history of the Lassiter Coast, Antarctica – with Joerg Schaefer (Columbia, USA), Brent Goehring and Keir Nichols (Tulane University, USA) and Greg Balco (Berkeley Geochronology Center, USA)
  • Comminution dating boundary conditions: A study of (234U/238U) disequilibrium along the Antarctic Peninsula –  with Adi Torfstein (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel), funded by Lamont Doherty Climate Center grant ($8000)
  • Antarctic Peninsula exhumation and landscape development investigated by low-temperature detrital thermochronometry (NSF grant 1246484) – with Greg Balco, David Shuster and Matt Fox (Berkeley, USA)

From 2009-2013, I my work focused on samples from the Hudson Mountains, which lie adjacent to Pine Island Glacier. This built on research of the QWAD project (see below). We obtained a high-resolution record of thinning of a tributary of Pine Island Glacier, which showed rapid thinning in the early Holocene (8 kyrs ago). This research was published in 2014 in Science (see Johnson et al., 2014).

 

From 2005-2009, I worked in the QWAD (Quaternary West Antarctic Deglaciation project, within the GRADES (Glacial Retreat in Antarctica and Deglaciation of the Earth System) project. I used cosmogenic surface exposure dating to construct a preliminary age versus elevation record for nunataks near the Pine Island Glacier (e.g. the Hudson Mountains). I visited the Hudson Mountains in 2006, as part of the Alfred Wegener Institute cruise ANT-XXIII/4 on the RV Polarstern. Please see Johnson et al. 2008 (Geology) for the results of this work. There is also a good article in Nature Reports Climate Change describing my work in the Amundsen Sea Embayment at

http://www.nature.com/climate/2008/0804/full/climate.2008.30.html

 

From August 2002 to April 2005, I worked on a project focusing on the origin and palaeoenvironmental implications of authigenic alteration minerals in volcaniclastic rocks from James Ross Island (Northern Antarctic Peninsula). The aim was to understand the relationship of alteration to the composition of porewaters present during eruption, and to determine whether the chemical composition of alteration products (such as zeolites and clay minerals) reflects the alteration environment. I undertook Antarctic fieldwork on James Ross Island in January 2003 and January-March 2004. This formed part of the LCHAIS (Late Cenozoic History of the Antarctic Ice Sheet) project, within the GIANTS (Global Interactions of the ANTarctic Ice Sheet) programme (which ran from 2000-2005).

For my PhD, I studied the geochemistry of a suite of alkaline lavas from the Vitim Volcanic Field in Siberia. This lies ~ 200 km east of Lake Baikal, in one of the world’s major continental rift zones. My research involved using geochemical characteristics of these lavas to constrain the composition and thickness of the lithosphere in the Baikal Rift Zone, and to improve our understanding of the melting regime beneath the region during the Cenozoic.
