About Me |
I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, currently studying future proglacial lake development and outburst flood risk in Iceland. More broadly, my research investigates the links between climate, ice, hydrology, and landscape change in Arctic and alpine environments, with a specific focus on glacial outburst floods (also known by the Icelandic term jökulhlaups). I received my PhD from the Department of Geography and the Environment at the University of Texas at Austin in 2021. My dissertation project used a suite of geomorphologic, geochronological, and modeling methods to reconstruct a series of jökulhlaups that drained across southwestern Iceland at the end of the last ice age. I conducted the final stages of this work as a 2019-2020 Fulbright-NSF Arctic Research Fellow in Iceland. I am also the 2021 Cryosphere Working Group Fellow at IASC (International Arctic Science Committee) and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.
