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.

Michael Comas is a Master's student working with Dr. Julia Wellner at the University of Houston. Michael does research in Marine Geology. His work focuses on Pine Island Glacier proximal to Thwaites Glacier.


Hidden from view by ice kilometres thick, there is a vast network of lakes and streams under the Antarctic ice sheet. Using a decade of altimetry data from European Space Agency’s (ESA) CryoSat satellite, researchers at the University of Edinburgh, including a scientist with the PROPHET project of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC), have made an unexpected discovery about how lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier drain and recharge in quick succession.

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


Calling all schools and home-schoolers! We are delighted to bring you the Antarctica Week Festival 2020 where you can hear what it's like to live and work in Antarctica.

Dr. Xianwei Wang is a remote sensing scientist, currently working in the Center for global Sea Level Change, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE. He is interested in three-dimension changes of Thwaites Glacier and how Thwaites Glacier responsed to the surrounding warm ocean. He went to ice camp on Thwaites Glacier Front in February 2020 with KOPRI to install GPS and ApRES to detect the glacier motion and how rapidly the warm ocean can melt the ice base. His research for MELT combines satellite observations and ground measurements to better understand the glacier-ocean interactions in this region.

Clare Eayrs is a Research Scientist at the Center for global Sea Level Change, New York University Abu Dhabi. Her research focuses on the interaction between ice, the ocean, and the atmosphere. She is interested in understanding how changes in the cryosphere affect the global climate, with a particular focus on sea-level change.
