PhD candidate at @MonashUni @saef_arc. Researching past relative sea level change in Antarctica and Australia 🌊
Melbourne, Australia
Joined June 2023
Had a lovely time in southern California meeting the @PALSEAgroup community! Not a bad spot to learn about all things ice sheets, GIA and sea level proxies 🐚🌊

Thanks for having me @DrShaneRRR! Great being in the studio with @einstein_agogo this morning 😄
Jacinda recently went “deep-field” (to an isolated and remote area) in Antarctica with 27 scientists where they had to share tents and hike in blizzard conditions #scienceiseverywhere #3RRRFM #science

The sun has set on our Antarctic season. A challenging and rewarding two months researching Denman Glacier. We leave with lots of samples to work on in the lab over the coming year! Follow @jacinda_oc @palaeoport @LevanTielidze for updates!

Collecting the steep bedrock samples with @selwynox @palaeoport @jacinda_oc for cosmogenic nuclide dating to better understand the thinning history of East Antarctica's Denman Glacier❄️🏔️☄️ @saef_arc @MonashEAE @Monash_Science @MonashIce @AusAntarctic

After being snowed in at the Bunger Hills ⛺️ we headed back out to the Denman Glacier for one last week on the ice, looking for clues (of the 🪨 variety) that will reveal the history of the glacier since the last ice age 🧊. With @saef_arc @AusAntarctic @MonashEAE

"We're really worried that the Denman Glacier has started to retreat and that this might continue" - @selwynox Hear why 27 scientists have spent 2 months camped on the ice collaborating to understand this glacier. 🎧 https://t.co/YryqFWmX5Y

The SAEF team enjoying a sunny day at the beach in the Bunger Hills. 😎 This was no lazy day on the sand, the team were hard at work collecting samples and data. 📊🪨🌿 They report it was still a bit cold for a swim in the frozen ocean. 🥶 ➡️ https://t.co/JvN2ETL8Ea

An Antarctic raised beach sequence on a (chilly) summer day 🏖️ We're collecting marine sediment samples for reconstructing past local sea level change in Bunger Hills! With @saef_arc @AntarcticSciAus @Ant_Partnership @AusAntarctic

The Denman Terrestrial Campaign is entering its final weeks. Mostly good weather has enabled scientists from @AntarcticSciAus @AusAntarctic @Ant_Partnership and SAEF to make great progress collecting samples and completing surveys. ➡️ https://t.co/5198LEb8Ly 📸 @LevanTielidze

In non-RSL related news, I also finally experienced a white Christmas at the RAID ice drilling site with @ClimateNerilie and the team 😍📷

Hello from Bunger Hills, our deep field basecamp in East Antarctica! Great people, great collaborations @saef_arc @AntarcticSciAus @Ant_Partnership @AusAntarctic 🇦🇶 We're collecting records of how the potentially vulnerable Denman Glacier changed before 20th Century retreat🧊📉

We recently spent a week ⛺️ at Cape Jones alongside the Denman Glacier 🇦🇶, collecting cobbles and bedrock from the outcrop’s glacially scoured surface. Our work will help uncover the past behaviour of this spectacular but retreating glacier 🧊🪨@MonashEAE @MonashIce @saef_arc

A challenging but successful couple of weeks at Bunger Hills in East Antarctica, sampling and surveying lakes for relative sea level reconstruction! This work aims to improve our understanding of the ice loading and deglaciation history of the region @saef_arc @MonashEAE 🌊🌫️
