I am a glaciologist and remote sensing polar scientist, focusing on monitoring the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
I have a PhD in glaciology from Durham University in 2022, where I used satellite remote sensing to investigate supraglacial lakes on the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Within this time, I have worked on cryospheric remote sensing and GIS projects with Asiaq Greenland Survey in Nuuk, Greenland. Prior to my PhD, I worked as a GIS scientist in an international marine consultancy.
Research interests: ice-sheet surface and subglacial hydrology, ice-shelf evolution and dynamics, ice shelf-sea ice-mélange interactions, surface climate-firn-mass balance interactions.
Remote sensing interests: glacier and ice-shelf change detection (including iceberg calving), satellite imagery classification and analysis methods, remote sensing evaluation of polar regional climate models.
