Professor of Polar Geodesy & RCUK Academic Fellow in the geodesy group of the School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University (UK).

principal research interests are (see also the tabs above for publications)

•  Improving our understanding of Antarctic ice mass balance using data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)
   

•  Using GPS measurements of 3d crustal movements to understand 1) changes in the Antarctic ice sheet sinceLast Glacial Maximum; and 2) the structure of Earth(lithosphere & mantle)
   

•  Absolute sea level change over past few centuries using tide gauge data and GPS measurements of their vertical movement
   

•  Ice sheet dynamics (ice streams and ice shelves), such as vertical tidal motion, tidal modulation of flow, long-term changes in elevation and velocity
   

•  Improving the accuracy and precision of GPS/GNSS time series to enable further advances in our understanding of the solid earth, ice sheets and tropospheric water vapour, including the Detection of Offsets in GPS timeseries Experiment (DOGEx)
