His research is focused on modelling and observing the flow of ice and water in ice sheets and glaciers. More details can be found on his website. His role on GHOST is to co-lead the collection and analysis of phase-sensitive radar data to better understand how Thwaites Glacier flows over its bed.
On International Women’s Day, 8 March 2021, we mark and celebrate the women working as part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC).
