Dr Ines Otosaka

Lecturer

Department: Geography and Environmental Sciences

I am Lecturer in Physical Geography at Northumbria and Co-Director of Science of the . My research focuses on using satellite and airborne altimetry data over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to detect and interpret changes in their elevation, volume, and mass and estimate their contribution to sea level rise.
