James Marschalek

James Marschalek is a Research Associate at Imperial College London's Department of Earth Science & Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. He works with Prof. Tina van de Flierdt on reconstructing Antarctic ice sheet history, focusing on Pleistocene periods. His research employs geochemical techniques to trace Antarctic sediment provenance and integrates these with numerical ice sheet models.

Education:

• PhD in Earth Science & Engineering, Imperial College London (2018-2022)
• MPhil in Polar Studies, University of Cambridge (2016-2017)
• BSc in Environmental Geoscience, Durham University (2013-2016)

Research interests include geochemistry, geology, geophysics, and Antarctic glaciology. His work bridges field-based geochemical analysis with computational modeling to understand long-term ice sheet dynamics.
