By 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.
The 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.
This project used ice cores drilled across the Antarctic Peninsula and West Antarctica to reconstruct past climate and understand whether the recent warming in these rapidly changing regions is unusual over longer timescales..
This 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.
This project used ice core chemical and biological tracers, including marine diatoms swept onto the ice sheet by wind, to reconstruct 300 years of wind strength and atmospheric circulation patterns in West Antarctica.
This research focuses on investigating the glacial histories of Arctic ice sheets and ice caps using the marine geological record preserved on continental margins.
During this project essential survey data was collected to help plan future deep ocean drilling expeditions.
AGAP was an international effort to explore the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains in the center of East Antarctica.
This project investigated the ice streams of West Antarctica’s Weddell Sea sector through airborne surveys.
BEAMISH drilled through over 2 km of ice on Rutford Ice Stream to discover when the West Antarctic Ice Sheet last collapsed and how water and soft sediments beneath it help the ice flow towards the sea.
Polar ice cores reveal volcanic eruptions that changed human history Researchers find new evidence that large eruptions were responsible for cold temperature extremes recorded since early Roman times A freshly […]
New study shows Antarctic ice shelf is thinning from above and below A decade-long scientific debate about what’s causing the thinning of one of Antarctica’s largest ice shelves is settled […]
