Harry Heorton investigates the flow of frozen polar oceans and the interactions of the ocean and atmosphere. He has experience with climate models, particularly the representation of sea ice, and the use of radar altimetry from CryoSat2 to observe sea ice thickness and ocean currents and waves.

Harry’s current research focus is to bridge the tricky gap between observations and modelling. This is achieved using a combination of Arctic sea ice data to understand the location and uncertainty of seasonal sea ice growth and melt. This can be compared to sea ice models to improve the knowledge of sea ice physics.

Harry obtained his PhD as part of UCL CPOM, has worked at the University of Reading and is currently a Lecturer in Remote Sensing and Climate Change with UCL Geography.
