Course summary

The Master of Philosophy is awarded on the basis of a thesis (200 pages or 60,000 words) and examiners must be satisfied that you have been able to interpret and communicate knowledge through research and/or scholarship of publishable quality which would satisfy peer review, and which might reasonably be expected to be completed after two or up to three years of full-time study (four or up to six years for part-time study). You must also satisfy the examiners that you possess a good general knowledge in your area of research. This degree would be suitable if you have 2 years of sponsorship for your research degree study.Our research centres around the theme of quantifying the response of glacierised regions to climatic change, considering both contemporary and palaeo-environments. We focus on Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine environments and use a range of methods, in particular field data collection, remote sensing and GIS, numerical modelling and geomorphological mapping, to establish the key drivers of cryospheric change and measure rates of response. Our aim is to project the evolution of glacierised environments in future decades. A key part of our work is establishing the impacts of these changes on downstream users and ecosystems as the supply of glacial meltwater becomes increasingly variable.
