Current Research

Glacier hydrochemistry. Glacier hydrology. Currently writing up Masters thesis, on the chemical and isotopic composition of meltwaters draining a High Arctic polythermal glacier. This includes testing the use of sulfur-35 as a tracer for subglacial hydrological processes within this environment, as well as more traditional chemical analyses (anion and cation chromatography, EC, pH and HCO3 measurements, SSC and discharge calculations).
