Summary

Start date: MSc by Research - 1st October, 1st January, 1st April & 1st July.

The MSc by Research in Glaciology allows you to undertake a year-long individual programme of personally and professionally enriching research. Your glaciology research project will be shaped by participation in activities such as seminars, workshops, laboratory activity and fieldwork, as well as your involvement in Swansea Glaciology Group [https://www.swansea.ac.uk/geography/research-and-impact/swansea-glaciology-group/ ]. While this programme usually finishes after a year, it can also be used to progress to the second year of a PhD degree. You will contribute to our research and learn methods such as computer simulation, satellite remote sensing, or geophysical and geological field methods. Swansea glaciologists work in the Arctic, Antarctic, and most glaciated regions to advance understanding of:

Ice dynamic processes such as iceberg calving and basal processes in relation to ice streams, outlet glaciers and glacier surging; Interactions between ice sheets, solid earth, oceans and atmosphere; Reconstruction of past and prediction of future glacier, permafrost, and snow behaviour and processes; Past and future cryospheric contribution to sea-level rise
