<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">Compared with the cases of alluvial and bedrock channels, the study of meltwater channels on ice has
received little attention, and experimental work reported to date has focused on small-scale meandering channels only. Meltwater channels over ice show many features also observed in alluvial and bedrock rivers, such as terraces/bars, overhangs, knickpoints
(waterfalls), features analogous to scroll bars due to channel bend migration, and bend cut-offs. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; background-image: initial; background-"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">These morphologies and overall planform characteristics are dependent on temperature gradients and flow
characteristics (e.g. depth, velocity), among other variables. This PhD project will focus on identifying the tipping points responsible for them.</span></p>

are key to motivate and validate processes understanding of supraglacial meltwater channel hydrodynamics and morphodynamics.</span></p>

</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">2) Conduct remote monitoring of polar and extra-terrestrial surface meltwater channels to quantify real-world planform geometries, using data from ESA Sentinel, Nasa Landsat
and higher resolution satellite data.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; color: rgb(58, 58, 58);"><br>
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">3) Develop empirical and theoretical models of meltwater flux from channel planform geometry and slope, quantifying both water-ice temperature gradients and meltwater contribution
to sea-level rise.</span></p>
