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.

Ocean-driven ice-shelf thinning in Antarctica
Read more of: Ocean-driven ice-shelf thinning in AntarcticaBy exploiting advances in ice sheet modelling, and new Antarctic-wide datasets, this project aims to predict how far and how fast the observed ocean-driven thinning of floating ice shelves will propagate into the interior of the Antarctic ice sheet, and assess the consequences for global sea level over decadal-to-centennial timescales.

Ice Sheet Modelling
Read more of: Ice Sheet ModellingThe ice sheet modelling group integrates observational data with dynamical models to improve our representation of how the ice flows beneath the surface, and to reveal how the shape and flow of the Antarctic ice sheet has changed in the past.
