Research overview

Working with PhD students Stephen Brough, Adam Hepburn and Colin Souness, we have been investigating the processes shaping the current distribution, dynamics and form of glaciers or glacier-like forms (GLFs) on Mars. All of this research has been based - by necessity - on the analysis of images provided by various satellite-based platforms in martian orbit.

Our understanding of the process glaciology and glacial history of Mars is still very poor and the discipline is in its infancy. Despite substantial recent advances, we have yet to determine a great deal relating to the fundamentals of martian glaciology.
