Postdoctoral research fellow, Australian National University

My current research involves using satellite gravity data to measure the temporal and spatial variations of the solid Earth and it’s fluid envelope. I have particular interest in using space gravity analysis, along with other geodetic techniques, to measure changes in the mass balance of polar ice caps and glaciers, and how their decreasing volume is contributing to global sea level rise.
