My research centres on understanding the effect of the ocean on the Greenland Ice Sheet, with a view to improving projections of ice sheet mass loss and sea level contribution.
I was a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews with Prof. Doug Benn, and a Postdoctoral Scholar at Scripps Institution of Oceanography with Prof. Fiamma Straneo. I completed my PhD – titled ‘Modeling submarine melt rates at tidewater glaciers in Greenland’ – with Professor Pete Nienow at the University of Edinburgh in August 2017.
