Peter Davis - Physical Oceanographer
Affiliation: British Antarctic Survey, UK
About Peter: I am a physical oceanographer at the British Antarctic Survey who specialises in observing the ocean beneath Arctic and Antarctic ice shelves. My research focuses primarily on high-latitude ice-ocean interactions and their impact on ice shelf basal melting. I have a particular specialism in using hot water-drilled access holes, made through many hundreds of meters of ice, to understand the turbulent ocean processes that transport heat towards the ice shelf base and set the rate at which ice shelves are melted from below.
Research Interests: Ice-ocean interactions, oceanography, ice shelf basal melting

Huw Horgan
Dr Huw Horgan's research uses field geophysical methods to investigate the flow of glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves. By examining the components of the cryosphere that can result in rapid changes, he aims to contribute to community efforts to better determine future sea level. His studies address the distribution of water and deformable sediment beneath ice streams, processes at the transition between ice sheets and ice shelves, and the identification of high-value drilling targets for glaciological and paleoclimate studies.
