Ben Webber
Ben uses observations and models to understand the dynamics of the climate system, including the interaction between ocean, ice and atmosphere. In the Antarctic, his work has focused on the transports of heat around the Amundsen Sea and the interactions with Pine Island and Thwaites Ice Shelves. Read More
Robert Hall
Dr Rob Hall is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, UK. He is a physical oceanographer who uses observations and numerical model simulations to research shelf sea and deep ocean fluid dynamics. Read More
Guilherme Bortolotto
Guilherme is tagging Weddell and elephant seals to obtain important information about the water in the eastern Amundsen Sea. Read More
Iain Wheel
Iain Wheel is a PhD student in the Department of Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews. He will be applying Elmer/Ice and HiDEM models to investigate ice shelf and ice-cliff [in]stability.

C. Rosie Williams's role within the project is centered around working with Robert Arthern on the ice-sheet model WAVI at BAS. They will support the effort to couple the ocean model MITgcm with the ice model, and run forward simulations. Read More
Amin Amiri
Amin Amiri is working on tasks to design the RF transponder and radar nodes to be deployed on Thawites.

Paul Anker is a drilling engineer responsible for the hot water drill, which will be used to create holes through the Thwaites Glacier for the MELT project. Read More
Helen Ockenden
Helen Ockenden's PhD research, funded by the NERC E3 Doctoral Training Programme at Edinburgh, will explore the shape and condition of the subglacial environment with ground-penetrating radar, to better understand the bed topography and friction at the base of Thwaites Glacier. Read More
Julien Bodart
Julien Bodart is a graduate student in geophysics at the University of Edinburgh. His interests lie in the evolution of ice sheets in response to long-term changes in climatic conditions. Read More
