Current/recent research
Interglacial Collapse of Ice Sheets revealed by Subglacial Drilling of Bedrock (INCISED).
The ERC funded INCISED project aims to measure prior exposure of subglacially-drilled bedrock in order to test for and quantify West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, and in doing so to calibrate models of future ice sheet behaviour.
ScotIce: How fast could ice caps collapse?
Improving 10Be and 26Al AMS measurement precision and development of 26Al positive ion mass spectrometry (PIMS) to determine how fast the Scottish ice cap retreated in response to rapid warming at the end of Greenland Stadial 1 (GS1).
BRITICE-CHRONO: Constraining rates and style of marine-influenced ice sheet decay. This is a NERC consortium project spread across eight universities, the British Geological Survey and British Antarctic Survey.
MAGIC-DML: Deciphering the glacial history of East Antarctica using nunataks as indicators of ice sheet dynamics.
Quantifying glacial erosion at glacier and ice sheet scales using cosmogenic nuclide techniques.
Cosmogenic nuclide production rate systematics.

- NC S&F In-situ 14C Facility. Prof Darren Mark (PI), Prof Derek Fabel (CoI), Dr Keir Nichols (Research Fellow), NERC. £1.94M (2024-2031). This project aims to re-establish in-situ 14C extraction capability for the UK research community at SUERC. Cosmogenic in-situ 14C refers to the carbon-14 that is formed by cosmic ray interaction within the crystal lattice of surface materials. In-situ 14C allows researchers to measure processes that have occurred in the era of human civilisations, giving us unprecedented ability to measure rates of change prior to, and since, human impacts.
