Jeffrey’s research interests are focused on modern and past ice sheets and glaciers. He is interested in reconstructing the changing nature of modern and Quaternary ice-masses and ice-ocean interaction in Antarctica and Greenland, and characterising large-scale patterns and processes of sedimentation associated with glacier-influenced marine settings and glaciers on various timescales.
Jeffrey is currently working with colleagues at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and University of Newcastle on a project investigating Greenland Ice Sheet dynamics and change during the last deglaciation. He is also working on a project examining Late Quaternary environmental change in the NE Antarctic Peninsula in collaboration with UK-based colleagues. Jeff is currently involved in the EU-funded project ‘Environmental change in the Anthropocene’ which is focused on using sediment records from High Arctic lakes in NE Greenland to reconstruct contemporary and past environmental change.
