I was a glaciologist working at BAS, participating in a work-package ISM (Ice-sheet modelling) in the Ice Dynamics and Palaeoclimate Project. I retired in January 2019, and am currently an Emeritus Fellow at BAS and an Honorary Professor at Durham University. Glaciologists examine the behaviour of ice-sheets, how they flow, how they interact with the atmosphere, ocean and geological substrate. I am an ice-sheet modeller and radioglaciologist. I formulate, analyse and solve equations describing the flow of ice, heat and subglacial sediment and water. Generally solutions need to be obtained numerically, but certain analytical or semi-analytical procedures are also useful. I ran radars in the field and try to understand the implications for ice-flow by using modelling. My guiding aim is to do "ESS glaciology", the glaciology that is required for understanding how ice-sheets have operated in the global system. |
