Future sea-level rise in response to climate warming poses a threat to coastal communities and environments around the world. A critical task of climate change research is to constrain the response of present-day ice reservoirs to climate warming and estimate their contribution to future sea-level change. I work at the intersection between geophysics and climate change science. My proposed research will contribute to improving our understanding of past and future climate by exploring the physics of sea-level changes and solid Earth deformation, accounting for this physics in state-of-the-art numerical models of the retreat and advance of the polar ice sheets, and taking an integrated view of the Earth system.

气候变暖导致的未来海平面上升将对世界各地的沿海社区和环境构成威胁。气候变化研究的一个关键任务是限制当今冰库对气候变暖的反应，并估计它们对未来海平面变化的贡献。我从事物理学和气候变化科学的交叉研究。我提议的研究将有助于提高我们对过去和未来气候的理解，探索海平面变化和固体地球变形的物理学，在极地冰盖的退缩和前进的最先进的数值模型中解释这种物理学，并对地球系统进行综合观察。
