About
Hello! I am a DPhil (PhD) student in the Oxford Ice and Fluid Dynamics group, working under the guidance of Andrew Wells, and funded by the NERC DTP in Environmental Research. My research focuses on ice-ocean interaction in glacial fjords. Specifically, I am developing a computational model to study how a stratified ocean is mixed by large icebergs as they topple after calving off a glacier front. This tool will be used to calculate upstream heat and salt fluxes following glacier calving events. In this way, we aim to increase our understanding of processes that affect the melt rate of glaciers, and thus reduce the uncertainty on predictions of future sea level rise.
In addition to my research, I lead seminars and tutorials on environmental science and fluid dynamics within the University and further afield. Before arriving at Oxford, I completed BA and MSci degrees in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge.
