Dr. Alexander Bradley is an ice-ocean modeler at the British Antarctic Survey, and visiting research fellow at Kings College London. His research focuses on understanding how and why ice sheets change; past and future sea level rise; and the implications of a changing cryosphere on societies around the world. This August 1 presentation summarized his group’s recently published research, which found a new mechanism in Antarctic submarine melting that could account for higher sea-level-rise observed during past warm periods similar to today, as well as potentially in future.
