Dr Ines Otosaka

Assistant Professor

School: Geography and Natural Sciences

I work in the NERC Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM). My research focuses on using satellite and airborne altimetry data over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to detect and interpret changes in their elevation, volume, and mass and estimate their contribution to sea level rise.
