Jowan Barnes works as a modeller on the PROPHET project. He uses the ice-flow model Úa to investigate processes affecting the behaviour of Thwaites Glacier, and compares the results to those from other models. Read More
Bernd Kulessa
Bernd Kulessa is Professor of Geophysics in the Glaciology Group at Swansea University, UK, and the Director of Research for Swansea's College of Science. Read More
Rob Arthern
Rob Arthern is a glacier modeller at BAS. He will be responsible for modelling the evolution of Thwaites Glacier, specifically in response to the melt rates at the grounding line determined both by direct observations, and by the grounding zone parameterization to be developed within the MELT project.

Keith Makinson
Keith Makinson is a physical oceanographer at BAS, and is responsible for developing hot-water drills used by BAS. Within MELT, he will be responsible for the hot-water drilled access holes and ensuring instrumentation can be safely deployed through them. Read More
Paul Holland
Paul Holland is an ice-ocean modeller in the Shelf Seas group at the British Antarctic Survey. He will be responsible for coordinating the different modelling components of the project. In particular, he will assist with the installation of the grounding zone parameterization into MITgcm.

Professor Paul Brennan is a co-investigator for MELT. He is responsible for developing novel instruments to be deployed in a borehole upstream of Thwaites Glacier grounding line that will be used to measure the vertical shear in the ice column. Read More
Matt Piggott
Professor Matt Piggott is a co-investigator of MELT. He is responsible for applying leading-edge techniques in numerical modelling to the ocean environment in the grounding zone of Thwaites Glacier. Read More
