Martin Siegert is the Head of the School of GeoSciences at The University of Edinburgh which he joined in August 2006. He joined the Bristol Glaciology Centre as a lecturer in January, 1999. He read Geological Geophysics at the University of Reading between 1986 and 1989, and later undertook his Ph.D. at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge from 1990 to 1993. During 1994 he remained in Cambridge, working as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant. He was a lecturer in the Centre for Glaciology, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, between 1994 and 1998.
Professor Siegert is a member of two scientific programmes of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research: he is co-Chair of the Antarctic Climate Evolution Programme, and a member of the Subglacial Antarctic Lakes Exploration group of specialists. He is also a member of the NERC peer review college. In 2002 Professor Siegert was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize by the Leverhulme Trust.
His research interests include climate-related numerical modelling of large ice masses, with a specific focus on Late Quaternary ice sheets within the Eurasian Arctic. He has also been closely involved in geophysical investigations of Lake Vostok, the largest subglacial water body beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Modelling the supply of glacigenic sediments to Eurasian Arctic continental margins is a further interest.
