Charlotte Carter

Charlotte Carter is a Researcher in the Department of Glaciology at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), focusing on ice sheet dynamics, subglacial processes, and polar geomorphology. Her work integrates geophysical remote sensing, radar data analysis, and field studies to understand ice stream behavior and long-term ice sheet stability. She has contributed to projects in Greenland and Antarctica, investigating subglacial landforms and their implications for past and future ice flow.

• Key research areas: Subglacial geomorphology, ice sheet dynamics, glacial processes.
• Methodologies: Airborne radar, ice-penetrating radar, bedrock mapping.

Her recent studies explore mega-scale glacial lineations, bedrock erosion surfaces, and the influence of subglacial topography on ice stream stability. Publications include analyses of Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) and West Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics.
