My research interests lie in the reconstruction of ice sheets, and how they influence and interact with the landscape, environment and subsurface.
In iC3, I co-lead a team with the aim to transform scientific understanding of carbon cycling processes under ice sheets and produce the first comprehensive inventory of sub-ice sheet carbon.
