Research
I am interested in how geological processes have shaped the surfaces we see on bodies across our Solar System, particularly ice-rich bodies, landforms, and processes.

"Exploring the Geomorphological Evolution of Large Glacier-Like Forms on Mars"
Glacier-Like Forms (GLFs) are ice-rich landforms that populate the mid-latitudes of Mars. They appear geomorphologically similar to terrestrial valleys or rock glaciers. Little is known about their geological evolution through Martian history, but they are thought to result from the re-distribution of water ice from the Martian poles during periods of high obliquity when the poles are exposed to more heat from the Sun.
My thesis explores the geomorphological evolution of GLFs by analysing various datasets using a number of remote sensing techniques. This included surface ages, geomorphological analysis, and climate modelling. We have already discovered some significant trends within the dataset, which are in the review stage of publication.
