Dr. Adam J. Hepburn is a 150th Anniversary Vice Chancellor's Fellow, specialising in glaciology and specifically the flow of water beneath current and former ice masses. He uses a combination of numerical modelling, geomorphology, and fieldwork to investigate how subglacial water affects ice dynamics and the signal this may leave behind when the ice has long since disappeared.
