ICERS - Ice and Climate Research at Sheffield
This research cluster studies past, present and future climatic changes and their impacts on ice masses, oceans, the atmosphere, and landscapes.
About our work
In the Ice and ClimatE Research at Sheffield (ICERS) research cluster, we study past, present and future climatic changes and their impacts on ice masses, oceans, the atmosphere, and landscapes. This enables us to better understand how the Earth system will respond to climate change, and to provide actionable science for informing policy, adaptation, and sustainable decision-making.
Research themes:
- Ice sheet and glacier responses to climate change
- The imprints of ice sheets and glaciers on the landscape
- The atmosphere and oceans in a warming world
- Glacial processes beyond Earth (e.g. on Mars)
- The impacts of the climate crisis
- Predicting water resource change in mountain regions
- Actionable science for informing policy and climate adaptation
Get involved with our work
