I joined BAS in 2005 as marine geologist in the Quaternary West Antarctic Deglaciation project (2005-2009). Between 2009-2015 I was a member of the Palaeo-Ice Sheets work package (within BAS’s Ice Sheets Programme led by Professor David Vaughan) with a focus on establishing improved histories of ice-sheet change in order to provide context and constraint for future projections. Since 2015 I have worked in the Palaeo environments, Ice Sheets and Climate Change (PICC team). In September 2011, I was awarded the Laws Prize. Prior to joining BAS I completed a PhD (NERC-Case) on palaeo ice shelf reconstructions at Durham University/BAS supervised by Professors Mike Bentley and Dominic Hodgson.
I have participated in 12 Antarctic field campaigns to areas of the Antarctic Peninsula, Amundsen-Bellinghausen seas, Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers and Weddell Sea and 1 Arctic field campaign (NE Greenland). My current research is focussed on understanding the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and specifically:
1) International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC). I am part of the ITGC project THOR – Thwaites Offshore Research. I lead the field component of THOR, which involves recovering (and analysing) sediment cores from beneath the floating portion of Thwaites in collaboration with the MELT and TARSAN teams. News coverage of our recent field season on Thwaites can be seen here and here
2) Establishing the timing of ice sheet retreat in the Amundsen and Weddell seas, Antarctic Peninsula and sub-Antarctic since the Last Glacial Maximum. I use geological and geophysical data to constrain past changes in polar ice sheets and to obtain records of the climate and other environmental changes that have been the “drivers” of ice sheet change.
3) Quaternary history of WAIS. In 2017 we will use the MeBo system to drill several sites in the Amundsen Sea to understand the Quaternary history of the WAIS. We hope to answer outstanding questions about the behavior of WAIS on interglacial-glacial time-scales as well as target grounding zone wedges to better understand their role in ice sheet dynamics. The performance of Mebo on this expedition is described here.
4) Reconstructing ice shelf history and investigating sub-ice shelf processes. I am currently analysing sub-ice shelf sediments collected from beneath George VI, Larsen C and Pine Island Glacier, and Filchner-Ronne to reconstruct ice shelf history and sedimentary processes beneath ice shelves. Read our recent work on PIG here which demonstrated that retreat of Pine Island Glacier started in the mid-1940s.
5) Assessing the role of oceanic forcing in West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat – CDW25k. The aim of this NERC funded project is to determine how long Circumpolar Deep Water has been present on the shelf and whether the rate of oceanic melting we see today has varied over longer (LGM to present) and centennial timescales. This collaborative project with University of Bristol and Durham University will apply geochemical methods to reconstruct past sea surface and bottom water temperatures during the last ~25,000 years. https://twitter.com/CDW_25k

6) Greenland in a Warmer Climate – What Controls the Advance and Retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream? (NEGIS).This NERC funded project, led by Professor David Roberts (Durham University) aims to reconstruct the past behaviour of Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) in order to calibrate and validate the sensitivity of 3D numerical models that can predict ice stream-shelf dynamics over 100 – 1000yr timescales. Our integrated data-model approach will be relevant to ice sheet-shelf systems in other parts of Greenland and Antarctica, and will help to underpin policy on future sea-level rise. The project will reveal new information on the deglacial and Holocene dynamic history of NEGIS and explore the forcing mechanisms that governed its millennial-scale behaviour.
Research interests
My research interests are focused on reconstructing palaeo-ice sheets/ice shelves using a range of sedimentological and geochemical techniques. I am particularly interested in: (i) Dating the retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet following the LGM; (ii) Examining the mechanism which drive ice sheet retreat (iii) Reconstructing the history of Antarctic ice shelves. I have extensive field experience collecting and interpreting sediment cores from a range of depositional environments in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic continent including the continental shelf and slope, rise and abyssal plain as well as lake environments.
