I am a PhD Student, researching the Aurora Subglacial Basin icesheet – also known as the “Weak Underbelly of East Antarctica”. My work involves modelling the icesheet, using the same physics that govern weather forecasts, to provide projections of future sea level rise from the Aurora. This region is vulnerable to a warmer climate and contains enough ice to raise sea levels by 7 metres, making it a critical region to study for future coastal adaptation.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
