Ben Evans

Ben Evans is a Researcher affiliated with the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). His work focuses on improving understanding of coupled ice sheet–ocean–climate systems through data-driven approaches, particularly utilizing Earth observation and machine learning to monitor and predict iceberg dynamics in polar regions.

His research spans the interface between ice sheets and oceans, examining how icebergs influence freshwater and nutrient inputs, ocean circulation, and global climate mechanisms. He develops predictive models to enhance climate impact assessments and mitigate maritime hazards.

Ben integrates satellite data, in-situ measurements, and numerical simulations to study calving processes, iceberg movement, melt, and fragmentation. His projects aim to refine machine learning techniques, hybrid modeling, and multimodal datastreams for fully data-driven simulations of polar systems.

His professional activities are linked to the Cambridge NERC Doctoral Landscape Awards (CREATES) and the C-CLEAR Doctoral Training Partnership, where he collaborates on environmental informatics and climate science initiatives.
