Robert Larter

Deputy Science Leader of Palaeo Environments

Biography

Marine geophysicist working at British Antarctic Survey since 1987. Main research focus since 2004 has been on late Quaternary ice sheet history, glacial geomorphology and glacial/glacial-marine processes. Also maintaining involvement in research on tectonic and palaeoenvironmental history of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean through the Cenozoic era. Technical specialisms include acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismic reflection, marine magnetic, swath bathymetry and sidescan sonar data. Scope of theoretical knowledge and coding experience includes forward and inverse seismic modelling and tectonic plate fitting/rotation calculations.

Research interests

Application of marine geology and geophysics to understanding the tectonic and palaeoenvironmental history of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, with main focus on Quaternary ice sheet history, glacial geomorphology and glacial/glacial-marine processes.

At present I am working mainly on geological and geophysical data from the southernmost Pacific Ocean, the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Weddell Sea.

I have also carried out geophysical investigations in the Scotia Sea. I have participated in 18 Antarctic and sub-Antarctic research cruises and been Chief Scientist on eight cruises of RRS James Clark Ross.
