How does ice flow enhancement and rearrangement impact the West Antarctic Ice Sheet?

We are looking for a PhD student to join an exciting project focused on ice-penetrating radar geophysics to investigate ice-flow patterns in West Antarctica. The project will be led by TJ Young as part of an interdisciplinary supervisory team.

Double progress in ice-rise modeling by @clarahenry.bsky.social. First we are now able to model ice rises and surrounding ice shelves in 3D and link it with radar stratigraphy to obtain area-wide age-depth estimates ( doi.org/10.1029/2024...)

Fabric modelling:

Predicting the Three‐Dimensional Stratigraphy of an Ice Rise We develop a three-dimensional model to simulate the age distribution of an ice rise and the surrounding ice We compare the modeled stratigraphy of an ice rise with the stratigraphy inferred from...

Two new publications on 3D models of ice rises with @geophys-tuebingen.bsky.social, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and @bas.ac.uk

Ice Rises and Ice Anisotropy in 3D by @clarahenry.bsky.social in doi.org/10.1017/jog..... This is another step forward for including a more nuanced ice rheology in ice-flow models.

🚨 An exciting opportunity for a funded PhD studentship with me on immersed boundary method simulations for ice-ocean interfaces! 🧊

Please repost and share with students! Deadline is 31st March.

Co. Sligo, Ireland: the place that got me hooked on fluid dynamics. Fun fact: George Gabriel Stokes also grew up here
