معرفی
Dr. Iestyn Barr is a Senior Lecturer in Glaciology/Glaciovolcanology at Manchester Metropolitan University. His research focuses on glacier-volcano interactions, climate change impacts on glaciers, and glacial geomorphology across diverse environments including Antarctica, Siberia, the Himalayas, and Kamchatka. He co-leads the IAVCEI and IACS joint commission on Volcano-Ice Interactions and serves as Scientific Editor for the Journal of Glaciology.
- Co-chair, IAVCEI-IACS Joint Commission
- Scientific Editor, Journal of Glaciology
Research Interests: Barr specializes in glacial environments influenced by volcanism and climate change. His work explores volcanic impacts on glaciers using satellite data, glacier responses to warming trends, and glacial landforms as paleoclimate indicators. He applies drones and machine learning for high-resolution glacial mapping.
Scientific Awards:
