Julian Dowdeswell graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1980, and studied for a Masters Degree at INSTAAR in the University of Colorado and for a Ph.D. in the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge.
His research
interests include:
(a) the dynamics of large ice masses and their response to climate change;
(b) the application of airborne and satellite geophysical techniques in glaciology,
and
(c) processes and patterns of sedimentation in glacier-influenced marine environments.
He has worked, on the ice and from airborne platforms, in a number of areas of the Arctic, including Svalbard, Russian Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya, Iceland, East Greenland and Baffin, Devon and Ellesmere Islands in Arctic Canada. He has also undertaken several periods of work on icebreaking research vessels in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea, in the fjords and on the continental shelves of Svalbard and Greenland, and in Antarctica.
Julian
was recently awarded the Polar Medal by Her Majesty the Queen for 'outstanding
contributions to glacier geophysics' and has also received the Gill Memorial
Award from the Royal Geographical Society. He is a fellow of Jesus College.
