معرفی
Felicity Alice Holmes is a Research Fellow at the Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University, specializing in glacier-ocean interactions in Arctic regions. Her work integrates field data, remote sensing, and numerical modelling to understand frontal ablation processes affecting marine-terminating glaciers.
- Education:
- BA Geography, University of Cambridge (2016)
- MSc Glaciology and Polar Environments, Stockholm University (2018)
- PhD in Glaciology, Stockholm University (2023)
Research focuses on Arctic climate systems, particularly Kronebreen and Ryder Glacier. She investigates how submarine melt and calving respond to ocean temperature variations and tidal fluctuations. Her 2024 ongoing project examines Northern Greenland glacier behavior until 2300.
Recent publications analyze Arctic boundary redefinition (2024), Kronebreen dynamics (2023), coupled lake drainage (2022), and submarine melt protection at Ryder Glacier (2020). She teaches glaciology, paleoglaciology, and GIS courses.
Holmes actively participated in the Ryder Glacier Expedition 2019, using Elmer/Ice and ISSM models. Her work emphasizes site-specific factors like bathymetry and fjord geometry in glacier response to climate change.
