The last few months have seen us make progress in two main areas:
(1) Steric sea level change
We have continued to work on what is the first real test of the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) framework on a global … Continue reading
New paper published – The land ice contribution to sea level during the satellite era
The GlobalMass team has had a new open-access review paper accepted for publication in Environmental Research Letters.
The review provides a new estimate of land ice mass trends during the satellite era (1992 to 2016), focusing on its contribution … Continue reading
GlobalMass at EGU 2018
GlobalMass was well represented at the EGU General Assembly 2018, held last week in Vienna, Austria. Jonathan Bamber, Stephen Chuter and Stefan Hofer all attended in person, and results from the project were presented in one talk and two posters.… Continue reading
Poster at BayesComp 2018
Zhe Sha has just returned from the Bayes Comp 2018 conference in Barcelona, Spain, where she presented a poster on our recent work using a Bayesian framework to update a forward model of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA): “Bayesian model-data … Continue reading
New appointments March 2018
We are delighted to welcome two new additions to the GlobalMass team, Dr Sam Royston and Dr Bramha Dutt Vishwakarma.
Sam joins us from the University of Tasmania in Australia where she was a Research Fellow in coastal altimetry, investigating … Continue reading
Project update February 2018
Progress over the last few months has focussed on three main areas:
(1) Steric sea level change
In what is the first real test of the Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM) framework on a global scale, we have been using … Continue reading
Presentation at University of Bristol Statistics seminar
Last Friday, Zhe Sha gave a talk on Bayesian Hierarchical modelling for large-scale geophysical inverse problems at one of the regular Statistics seminars organised by the University of Bristol’s Institute for Statistical Science.
In her talk, Zhe explained how … Continue reading
Presentations at AGU 2017
Last week saw over 20,000 scientists from around the world gather in New Orleans for the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting. GlobalMass was represented in person by Jonathan Bamber, and results from our work were presented in two … Continue reading
Project update November 2017
It’s been a couple of months since the last project update. In that time, we have been making progress in four main areas:
(1) Developing the statistical framework
The main purpose of our early experiments was to test and improve … Continue reading
New PhD opportunity studying sea level rise
A new PhD opportunity is available, allied to the GlobalMass project, with the aim of producing a consistent, rigorous sea level record for the 20th and first two decades of the 21st century from a combination of tide gauge data, … Continue reading
