Profile
I am a Palaeo-Glaciologist, with a focus on the British-Irish Ice Sheet. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Sheffield and remained for an MSc in Polar and Alpine Change. My MSc dissertation mapped glacial landforms in the Firth of Forth, and suggested the ice dynamics of the British-Irish Ice Sheet in the area. I began my PhD in October 2016, using the BISICLES model to help understand the dynamics of the collapse of the British-Irish Ice Sheet.
