WP1 co-leader
Peter Wadhams, Professor of Ocean Physics (research leader), has published on dynamics and thermodynamics of sea ice, sea ice thickness, waves in ice, icebergs, ocean convection and kindred topics. He has led 42 research expeditions to the polar seas and has worked extensively from Arctic submarines, most recently HMS Tireless (2007) using multibeam sonar to measure ice topography. He was a pioneer in the use of AUVs under sea ice, with successful missions using Maridan, Autosub II and Gavia (2002-2008) vehicles. He was coordinator of the EU FP5 GreenICE and CONVECTION projects and is currently in the EU FP6 DAMOCLES and on the Scientific Committee of the European Environment Agency. He was winner of the 1990 Italgas Prize for Environmental Sciences.
