Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames O'Neill is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Exeter with 14 years' experience applying numerical ice sheet and climate models to understand Antarctic dynamics and sea-level change. His work links geological evidence from past warm periods, like the Pliocene and late Pleistocene, with high-resolution model ensembles run on HPC to quantify uncertainty in ice-sheet responses on decade-to-millennial timescales. He led PhD research at King's College London that combined model experiments, data processing and visualization to project Antarctic contributions to future sea level, and now contributes to the NERC-funded GEOICE project and a Larsen B collapse-focused study. James blends rigorous modeling with observational and geological validation, and has experience translating science into policy through a POST internship on coastal management. Based in London and active on GitHub as @jammycakes, he pairs deep domain expertise with hands-on computational skills that make his projections both robust and policy-relevant.
