Ice-Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions in the Arctic
The main aim of my project is to link processes in the atmosphere, ocean and sea- ice with processes of land ice loss within the arctic region; specifically to quantify the different forcings that affect this loss. This project will utilise altimetry data gathered by the CRyoSAT-2 satellite, in order to gain knowledge of relative change of the arctic glaciers and ice caps. The motivation of this project is to address the source of uncertainty stemming from our lack of understanding of dynamical processes vs surfaces process in current projections of global sea level rise.
