To do a PhD, you’ll usually need to dedicate 3 years full-time or 5 years part-time, during which you’ll be generating new knowledge and considering that new information in relation to existing information. You’ll carry out a programme of research under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors, have the chance to strengthen your research skills and knowledge and develop a really wide range of qualities. Whether you want to develop your career in industry or in academia, a PhD programme can help you to get where you want to be.Our research centres around the theme of quantifying the response of glacierised regions to climatic change, considering both contemporary and palaeo-environments. We focus on Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine environments and use a range of methods, in particular field data collection, remote sensing and GIS, numerical modelling and geomorphological mapping, to establish the key drivers of cryospheric change and measure rates of response. Our aim is to project the evolution of glacierised environments in future decades. A key part of our work is establishing the impacts of these changes on downstream users and ecosystems as the supply of glacial meltwater becomes increasingly variable.
