Dave Wattam

Dave joined British Antarctic Survey in 2001 and is currently the Operations Programme Manager. Read More

Keir Nichols is a Post Doctoral researcher on the GHC project, based at Imperial College London. He is measuring short- and long-lived cosmogenic nuclides in sub-Thwaites bedrock cores with the aim of working out if the glacier has been thinner in the recent, and more distant, past. Read More

Tiago Segabinazzi Dotto

Tiago is a physical oceanographer interested in exchanges between open ocean and continental shelf and ocean-ice shelves interactions. As a postdoc of TARSAN project, he will investigate heat fluxes into and out of the ice-shelf cavities and turbulent mixing rates using in situ measurements.

Sarah Berry

Sarah worked as a programme administrator within the Science Coordination Office (SCO) to help with the organisation of meetings and any other administrative needs supporting the researchers involved in the ITGC. She departed the project in summer 2023.

Amanda Wynne

Amanda Wynne provided digital communication support for the ITGC SCO and managed the ITGC social media channels on Facebook and Twitter till 2021.

Andrew Pretorius

Andrew is a PhD candidate in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, and is investigating applying machine learning techniques to the analysis of passive seismic data.

TJ Young

TJ's research focuses on using a variety of field-based geophysical techniques to investigate the dynamics of ice sheets. Read More

Emma Smith

Emma Smith is geophysicist and glaciologist, investigating ice dynamics using active and passive seismic techniques. Read More

Adam Booth

Adam is a geophysicist, interested in using geophysical methods (usually seismic and GPR) to understand the physical properties of the shallow subsurface. He particularly enjoys stealing approaches from the resources industries, and applying them in glaciological, environmental and archaeological settings. Read More

James Kirkham

James is a PhD student working at the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Cambridge. His research uses marine geophysical methods such as swath bathymetry and 3D seismic reflection imaging to study the geomorphological imprints left by water flowing beneath glaciers.
