I have a particular interest in tidewater glaciers and the Greenland Ice Sheet, but also do research on mountain glaciers around the world. I have expertise in both FORTRAN and python, and in the Elmer\/Ice modelling suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also enjoy considering glacier dynamics in imaginary situations, so am probably by default the only person to have seriously thought about the degree of glaciation in Middle-earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I completed an undergraduate degree in Geography at the University of Cambridge, before spending two years working in the private sector as a business analyst. I then completed an MPhil and PhD in Polar Studies back at Cambridge under the supervision of Dr Poul Christoffersen, focusing on numerical modelling of Store Glacier, Greenland, a large tidewater outlet glacier of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This involved developing a fully coupled model of ice flow, calving, subglacial hydrology and meltwater plumes within the Elmer\/Ice finite-element modelling suite. The PhD also included a month of fieldwork at Store Glacier, where I used a terrestrial radar interferometer to gather a record of calving activity at the glacier for the purposes of model validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first postdoc position was at the Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes, in Grenoble, France, working on introducing a data assimilation framework, relying on the PDAF library developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, to Elmer\/Ice under the supervision of Fabien Gillet-Chaulet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving to the ICE team at UNIL represents my second postdoctoral position, where I will be working on using Guillaume\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jouvetg\/igm\">Instructed Glacier Model<\/a> to reconstruct the basal topography of glaciers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full list of publications is available <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.co.uk\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=TQIG6KgAAAAJ\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University of Lausanne<br>Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics<br>G\u00e9opolis \u2013 Bureau 4630<br>1015 Lausanne, Switzerland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+41 21 692 36 29<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:samuel.cook@unil.ch\">samuel.cook@unil.ch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Statement I work principally on numerical modelling of glaciers in several locations and with a range of techniques to investigate contemporary glacier dynamics.
