Areas of expertise: Ice Flow Models; Ice Sheet Dynamics; Sea Level Rise
Associated projects:
Isabel Nias uses numerical ice flow models to help improve our understanding of ice sheet dynamics and to make probabilistic projections of sea level rise from Antarctica and Greenland. She is particularly interested in quantifying uncertainty in ice sheet model predictions, and how we can use satellite observations to reduce this uncertainty.
Prior to Liverpool she was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Maryland, based in the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. In 2017 she obtained her PhD from the University of Bristol where she modelled the ice streams in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica.
