In this video Noel describes his research on how the Earth’s is currently losing vast quantities of ice, causing the sea level to rise, affecting communities relying on water supply from snow and ice and exposed to glacial risks.

My research interests focus on the response of the Cryosphere to a changing climate, in particular to establish what controls the mass loss of the ice sheets, ice caps and mountain glaciers and to quantify their contribution to sea level change. I have interests in the use of satellite observation and in the development of new methods to use satellite observation to make inferences about the Earth’s surface.
