Funded Projects

Past4Future

Involved in WP 4.1, looking at ice-sheet models of past and present inter-glacials. Other BAS people were Eric Wolff (now Dept. Earth Sciences, Cambridge University), Sarah Bradley (now Dept. Geography, University of Sheffield) and Louise Sime.

Ice2sea

Involved in WPs 2.1 (Frank Pattyn, Grounding Line) and 5.2 and 5.3 (both Tony Payne) which involve AIS/GrIS modelling and Peninsula modelling respectively. Worked with Rob Arthern, Nick Barrand, Gisela Hiess and Rosie Williams from BAS.

SW Ronne Retreat

I was PI of this NERC-funded project, with Hugh Corr, Ed King, Jonny Kingslake, Carlos Martín and Robert Mulvaney (BAS); Mike Bentley (Durham); Project Partners Nancy Bertler (VUW); Howard Conway (UW), Fabien Gillet (LGGE/UJF) and Matt King (Newcastle, now Tasmania). Using Raymond Effect Dating in the SW Ronne ice-rises e.g. Fletcher Promontory, Korff Ice Rise, with rheology constrained by radar strain-rate measurements, to date retreat of grounding line in SW Ronne area. Two field seasons, 2013-14 and 2014-15 . A poster on this subject by me, Howard Conway, Nancy Bertler and Tollý Aðalgeirsdóttir was presented at IGS British Branch Virtual Meeting 2020.

Retreat of Ross Ice Shelf and Roosevelt Drilling Project

Part of Howard Conway's USAP Roosevelt project, which is run in association with Nancy Bertler's RICE drilling project. I went there with the pRES in seasons 2010-11 and 2013-14.

Foundation Ice Stream Exposure Age Dating

With Mike Bentley, Andreas Vieli and Pippa Whitehouse. Mike collected rocks for exposure age dating in season 2009-10; Pippa is going to model the implications for AIS history with help from Andreas and me.

BRITICE

With Chris Clark, Sarah Bradley, Jeremy Ely, Gisela Hiess, Niall Gandy, Ed Gasson, Lauren Gregoire and Dave Pollard. Chris and the BRITICE team collected a vast quantity of new data on the marine portions of the British and Irish ice-sheets; modelling has started with teams of Chris, Jeremy and Sarah; Gisela and me; Niall and Lauren; and Ed and Dave

Palmer Land GPS

With Matt King and Mike Bentley. Measuring the PGR using continuous GPS in Palmer Land.

pRES at Summit and NEEM

I was PI of this NERC-funded project, with Hugh Corr, Adrian Jenkins and Ed King; PDRA was Fabien Gillet-Chaulet. Used the BAS phase-sensitive radar to infer the Glen index for ice-flow.

Lake Ellsworth Geophysical Survey

Geophysical survey of sub-glacial Lake Ellsworth for the main drilling project. With Martin Siegert, Neil Ross, John Woodward and, from BAS, Andy Smith, Hugh Corr, Ed King and David Vaughan.

Drumlins

With Chris Clark and many others. Getting data about drumlins, guided by modelling activities; an entertaining movie was made.

Radioglaciology

With Gwendolyn Leysinger Vieli, Howard Conway, Hugh Corr, Fabien Gillet, Bob Hawley, Ed King and several others. Obtaining radar-layer data and using it in models.

Unfunded Projects

These are model intercomparisons.
