My name is Kasia, and I am a SoF Postdoctoral Fellow at Dartmouth College, hosted by Colin Meyer. I also hold a Junior Research Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge; I will move there in 2024.
A mathematician by training, I did my PhD in Theoretical Geophysics at DAMTP, Cambridge, working with Jerome Neufeld and Duncan Hewitt.
I’m interested in the controls on ice flow speed in Antarctica, and in applying ideas from Mathematics and Fluid Dynamics to describing subglacial processes. My PhD focussed on the effect of tides on ice streams, the flow of water in the subglacial environment, and the transport of sediment beneath glaciers.
I’m always interested in new ways that maths can help explain observations, and predict the sensitivity of ice sheets to the changing climate. More than anything, I love the range of perspectives in glaciology from modellers to field scientists and I’m always happy to discuss my work or think about yours!
