Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
Understanding glacier dynamic change and iceberg risk evolution in Greenland
Project summary. Greenland’s marine terminating glaciers are undergoing rapid change, though how this impacts iceberg risks to settlements and current/future social and economic activities in fjords is currently poorly understood. Read more
Greenlandic tidewater glacier response to long-term climate change
This project will model the advance and retreat of major Greenlandic tidewater glaciers over the last 1000 years, and forecast their sensitivity to future climate change for the next 200 years. Read more
The use of satellite data to examine regional and global patterns of temperature change (elevation-dependent warming) in mountainous regions
Applications are invited for a fully-funded three-year PhD to commence in October 2023. The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Science, and will be supervised by. Read more
