  • Ph.D. thesis

    CATS-MIEOW Cruise 1999
  • Current Research

    Modelling of sea ice from the large (Arctic Basin wide) scale to the mesoscale.
    Investigation and model development of sea ice fracture on these scales.
    Observations and field work in support of this model development.

    Previous and ongoing research topics include:
  • Development and validation of the viscous-plastic sea ice model
  • Modelling interannual variability of Arctic sea ice
  • Investigating multiple equilibrium solutions of the viscous--plastic model
  • Development of fine resolution isotropic viscous-plastic models of ice deformation
  • The use of SAR RGPS data in validating rheological models
  • Finite volume solution of continuum mechanics sea ice models
  • Development of pressure correction methods for the viscous--plastic model
  • Projects

  • SEDNA: Sea Ice Experiment - Dynamic Nature of the Arctic
  • Beaufort Sea Ice Camp (APLIS)
  • Sea Ice Tide-Inertial Interaction (SITII)
  • ISPOL: Investigating sea ice deformation in the Weddell Sea, with an array of drifting buoys.
  • ICORTAS: Analysis of sea ice deformation from ADCPs in an array of moorings.
  • APLIS 2003 : Small Scale Ice Dynamics Experiment, Spring 2003.
