Research Interests

I am visiting from the University of Aberystwyth where I am working with Dr. Alun Hubbard in the Centre for Glaciology. My research involves the development and application of numerical ice-flow models with a particular focus on the interaction of ice-sheet dynamics and glacier hydrology.

I am currently contributing to a project investigating the dynamic response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to climatic forcing. This work involves conducting glacio-hydrodynamic modelling of the Russell Glacier Catchment, a land-terminating glacier along the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet
