DATA AS ART #10
Read more of: DATA AS ART #10Ice layers Radio waves can be transmitted down through an ice sheet, ice stream or glacier and are reflected off the internal layers in the ice as well as off […]

DATA AS ART #09
Read more of: DATA AS ART #09Volcanic ash Ice cores are cylinders of ice (approximately 10cm wide) drilled out of an ice sheet or glacier. On the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, these can be up to […]

FEATURED PAPER: Glacier response to ice shelf collapse
Read more of: FEATURED PAPER: Glacier response to ice shelf collapseIn February 2002, satellite images from a remote location in Antarctica revealed how an immense volume of floating ice, up to 1km thick, suddenly collapsed. Over the course of a […]

Weddell Sea ice sheet and climate
Read more of: Weddell Sea ice sheet and climateStudying 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.

Antarctic Climate over the last millennia
Read more of: Antarctic Climate over the last millenniaThis 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..

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.

West Antarctica wind strength and atmospheric circulation
Read more of: West Antarctica wind strength and atmospheric circulationThis 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.
