Anna Crawford

Dr. Anna Crawford is a Lecturer in Physical Geography at the University of Stirling's Division of Biological and Environmental Sciences. As a glaciologist, she employs advanced 3D computational models to study iceberg calving processes at marine-terminating glaciers and monitors icebergs through remote sensing and fieldwork, contributing to improved ice-sheet modeling and forecasting.

• BSc in Biology from Lakehead University
• MSc and PhD in Geography from Carleton University

Her research focuses on

• Marine ice cliff instability mechanisms
• Arctic ice island dynamics
• Glacier calving front modeling
• Environmental change in polar regions
• Integration of field and satellite data
• Climate change impact projections

Recent publication trends highlight her expertise in 3D glacial fracture modeling, iceberg drift analysis, and climate change implications. She has received the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship for her work with the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. Collaborations include the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration and Canadian Cryospheric Information Network (CCIN). Her work bridges computational modeling with field observations to address critical questions about global sea level rise and polar environmental transitions.
