Background:
Edmund is a PhD researcher at Durham University with a passion for mapping and understanding glaciated and deglaciated landscapes. He has a BSc in Geography from Durham, specialising in GIS and remote sensing. His current and previous work involves using satellite and airborne datasets to map and interpret the enigmatic landscapes that lie below the surface of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets. He is enthusiastic about the communication of polar science and always filled with faith and hope for the future of the polar regions.
When not at his desk, he loves walking in the Lake District to experience the beauty of glacial landscapes first-hand, but is also comfortable sitting down with a cup of tea and a book of puzzles, or playing bridge.
