Fiona D. Hibbert

Fiona D. Hibbert is a Research Associate in Sea-Level Studies at the University of York since 2023, following a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship (2020-2023). Her work focuses on geological records to constrain ice-sheet contributions to extreme sea-level rise, integrating statistical methods and modeling.

• PhD in Quaternary Science (University of St Andrews, 2011)
• Former affiliations: Australian National University (Research Fellow, 2016-present), National Oceanography Centre (Southampton), University of Southampton

Her research examines ice-ocean-climate interactions during the Quaternary, including glacial maxima differences, Meltwater Pulse 1A, and cryptotephra stratigraphy. She contributes to global sea-level databases and paleoclimate reporting standards.

Recent publications highlight trends in sea-level fingerprinting, sediment loading impacts on coastal regions, and blue carbon dynamics in saltmarshes. Collaborative work spans disciplines like glaciology, oceanography, and climate modeling.

Scientific Awards

• Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow (2020-2023)

She has developed open-access databases for sea-level markers and ice-margin sites, supporting interdisciplinary research on past and future climate systems.
