Ocean-Ice Modeller, British Antarctic Survey
Kaitlin Naughten is an ocean modeller specialising in ice shelf, ocean, and sea ice interactions around Antarctica. Her research primarily focuses on the response of Antarctic ice shelves to climate change, and the implications for global sea level rise. She has experience with a large variety of ocean, sea ice, ice sheet, and coupled climate models. She co-developed ÚaMITgcm, one of the world’s first successful coupled ice-sheet/ocean models, and is now developing ice-sheet/ocean coupling in the UK Earth System Model.
