Tom Holt

Dr. Tom Holt is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography at Aberystwyth University, specializing in glaciology and remote sensing. His research uses satellite, aircraft, and drone data to quantify changes in ice masses globally.

His investigations focus on:

• Antarctic ice shelf disintegration
• Long-term glacier changes in the Swiss Alps
• Structural controls on Himalayan glacier recession
• Reconstruction of paleo-ice sheets

Recent publications analyze topographic controls on ice flow, glacier structural evolution, and cryosphere-biosphere interactions. His work demonstrates consistent focus on ice-mass responses to environmental change across multiple regions including Antarctica, Greenland, Arctic, Alps and Patagonia.

Dr. Holt has received research funding from the Royal Society and Royal Geographical Society for projects on glacial evolution and energy flux studies. He supervises graduate students investigating glacier dynamics and structural glaciology.
