I am an Associate Professor and glaciologist in the Department of Geography at Durham University with a specific focus the hydrology of glaciers and ice sheets. I am also Co-Director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience.

I have experience in glaciological research in Greenland, Arctic Scandinavia, Iceland, the Andes, and the European Alps, and have contributed to improved implementation of glacial hydrology within glacier and ice sheet models.

My current research is focussed on water resources in glacier-fed catchments, including the transport of anthropogenic pollutants through the glacial hydrological system. This work applies an interdisciplinary approach to assess the impacts of changing meltwater availability on water security and environmental quality downstream of glaciated catchments under changing patterns of climate and land use.
