Biography
My research interests centre on ice sheet reconstruction, glacial sedimentary processes and understanding millenial-scale ice sheet response to climate forcing.
Greenland: my work focuses on ice sheet evolution and ice stream dynamics during the last glacial cycle. I have studied ice sheet history in West, Southeast and Northeast Greenland, with a particular focus on the response of large palaeo-ice streams such as the Uummannaq Ice Stream, Jakobshavns Isbrae and the NEGIS to atmospheric and ocean forcing. Our work in NE Greenland (NEGIS Project 2016-2021) and in SE Greenland (KangGlac project 2024-2028) aims to shed light on the deglacial and Holocene history of the GrIS in order to explore the forcing mechanisms that will drive future ice sheet loss.
UK: my work in the North Sea, Irish Sea and Ireland has focussed on ice sheet reconstruction and the importance of understanding subglacial and ice marginal processes during ice sheet/stream advance and retreat. Understanding the controls on ice sheet dynamics and fast ice flow in the North Sea has been a major focus. Two recent projects; Britice-Chrono (NERC Consortium) and GLANAM (EU ITN Funded) have contributed to the British-Irish Ice Sheet being the best constrained palaeo-ice sheet in the world.
