Tom Slater joined CPOM in 2015 at the University of Leeds. Tom primarily uses satellites to study the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, with a focus on satellite radar altimetry, which measures changes in ice height over time. He is also interested in quantifying the ice sheet contribution to the global sea level and understanding the human impacts of sea level rise.
Tom completed his PhD in 2019 at the University of Leeds. His PhD focused on Land Ice altimetry. For his research into measuring the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and their contributions to rising sea levels Tom was awarded the 2019 Piers Seller Prize for exceptional PhD research.
