Dr Kate Winter

Senior Lecturer

Department: Geography and Environmental Sciences

Senior Lecturer in Extreme Envronments within the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences at ϲ.

As an applied physical geographer I use ice penetrating radar and remotely sensed imagery to comprehend and characterise the subglacial environment (morphology, geology and hydrology) and flow dynamics of ice streams in Antarctica. I am particularly interested in the topographic controls on ice flow and the entrainment and transportation of sediment through the glacial system.

I am passionate about education and outreach. I develop and teach on various undergraduate modules, focussing on ice, climate, geology and science communication and I supervise research projects at all levels (undergraduate, masters and PhD). I work with the faculty education and outreach team NUSTEM to develop effective outreach initiatives for the wider public.
