Louise Sime
IDP Science Leader IMP 3
Biography
Dr. Louise Sime is a leading climate scientist at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), specializing in polar climate dynamics and the study of ice sheets, sea ice, snow, and climate across timescales ranging from seasonal to multi-millennial. Her research focuses on using water tracers including stable water isotopes (such as deuterium and oxygen-18) in ice cores to reconstruct past climate conditions and improve understanding of the hydrological cycle in polar regions. These water tracers and isotopes provide crucial data for evaluating the accuracy of climate models, especially in predicting future polar change.
As the Science Leader of the Ice Dynamics and Paleoclimate team at BAS, and head of the Earth System Modelling group, Dr. Sime leads several large-scale international projects. She plays a key role in advancing research on abrupt climate transitions, surface fluxes in Antarctica, and the stability of ice sheets under warming conditions. Her work integrates observational data with climate models to better predict the effects of polar changes on global climate.
With over 20 years of research experience, Dr. Sime’s contributions to polar science are recognized globally, and she continues to mentor a new generation of climate researchers. She holds a PhD from the University of Sheffield and has been with BAS since 2006.

Research interests
One of the key questions which has motivated Louise’s recent work is the question of how we can best use evidence of change during past warm climate periods to help understand and predict likely polar change over the coming centuries. Closely linked to this, she has a strong interest in how we can evaluate, and improve, our climate models over the polar regions, and recently helped formulate the CMIP FastTrack modelling protocol that explores the impacts of abrupt sea ice loss (LIGAbrupt).
