Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier System
Read more of: Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier SystemGHC will gather information about past ice sheet behaviour and relative sea level change in the Thwaites Glacier system. Determining the timing and magniture of past episodes of thinning and retreat and subsequent re-advance is important to provide a context for the current and future behaviour of Thwaites Glacier.

The role of Antarctic sea-ice in global climate
Read more of: The role of Antarctic sea-ice in global climateThis project examines Antarctic sea-ice’s role in global climate, using marine sediment and ice core records to reconstruct past sea-ice extent.

Climate and Ice during the Last Interglacial
Read more of: Climate and Ice during the Last InterglacialThis project studies the last Interglacial (129-116 thousand years ago, ka) when CO2 and global temperature were both higher than they were before human industrialisation. By examining Last Interglacial climate, we can gain insights into climate processes and feedbacks close to those expected by the end of the 21st century.

Late Quaternary changes in the Westerly Winds over the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Late Quaternary changes in the Westerly Winds over the Southern OceanIn this NERC-funded project, we are generating Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) proxy records from each of the three major sectors of the Southern Ocean, focusing on subantarctic islands situated in the core belt of the SHW.
