Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Tedstone is an Assistant Professor and glaciologist with 11 years of experience turning large geospatial datasets into actionable insights about ice-sheet behaviour, particularly melt and hydrology at high elevations of the Greenland Ice Sheet. He leads the Ice Sheet Processes group at UNIL and directs an SNSF-funded FlowState project, combining satellite time series, UAV data and on-ice autonomous measurements to map when and where ice becomes water. A versatile field and data scientist, he has led multi-year Greenland campaigns, designed remote logging networks, and developed image-processing algorithms using the 40-year Landsat archive to identify meltwater runoff limits. He teaches and convenes core Masters courses in environmental data methods and has a track record advising PhD students and shaping fieldwork wellbeing and conduct. Notably, his work bridges detailed physical process studies (dark-ice and ice-algae impacts) with large-scale remote-sensing synthesis, enabling both operational monitoring and hypothesis-driven science.
