Investigating subglacial hydrological meltwater production, distribution, and flow in east Antarctica

17 Sep 2017
Offered by: University of Tasmania
Scholarship funds: PhD program

Scholarship description

The flow of ice is very strongly controlled by conditions at the base of the ice sheet, including the type of rock or sediment and the presence of liquid water. This has large implications for not only the flow of the ice sheet, but the mass balance of the ice sheet, and hence impacts on both sea-level change and circulation in the oceans. This project will explore the subglacial hydrological environment beneath the little studied East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The candidate will make use of new airborne geophysical data and numerical modelling to quantify the production, distribution, and flow of sub-glacial water in East Antarctica.
