About
My research focuses on the critical role of glaciers in the hydrological cycle, and the importance of meltwater as a medium for sediment transport. The project uses high spatial- and temporal-resolution meltwater discharge and suspended sediment concentration data obtained during fieldwork at Storglaciären, northern Sweden. These data, combined with a numerical model of glacial water routing, will allow varying patterns of sediment delivery and meltwater discharge to be linked to the seasonal evolution of the subglacial drainage system.
