Earth and Planetary Fluid Dynamics

Current research interests include the consequences of subglacial hydrology on grounding zone hydrology, supraglacial lake drainage and the tidal modulation of ice streams, the solidification of magma oceans and the early generation of magnetic fields on planetary bodies, the erosive dynamics of idealised river systems, the emplacement and solidification of magmatic flows, viscous tectonic mountain building, and the fluid dynamics of geological carbon storage.
