BIO

Anthropogenic climate change and consequential sea-level rise pose some of the greatest challenges for the coming centuries. Glacier hydrology is an aspect that is being increasingly recognised as critical in the behaviour and stability of ice sheets, both by facilitating deep fracture propagation through the ice surface, and enhancing glacier sliding at the bed.

My research project is focused on detecting changes in glacier hydrology using passive seismic methods. The movement of water on, within, and beneath glaciers has the potential to generate detectable seismic signals. Passive seismology therefore offers a pragmatic way to continuously monitor these often hidden and intermittent processes of interest. We aim to develop a model for these signals, then apply machine learning algorithms to classify and interpret collected seismic data with the goal of better anticipating future sea-level rise.
