Malcolm McMillan

Welcome to my homepage! I am currently working towards my PhD, funded by the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, which aims to map the distribution of basal melting occurring under ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea, Western Antarctica. This follows on from my work last year as a postgraduate research assistant, where I used dense gravity anomaly data and sparse ship-based depth sounding data to produce a new map of sea-floor topography in the Amundsen Sea. Previously I was writing my MSc dissertation on Supra-glacial lake evolution at the margins of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Please use the links on the left of the page to find out more information or contact me if you have have any particular questions.
