Rachel Carr is a Professor in Glaciology at Newcastle University. She uses a combination of remote sensing, numerical modelling and fieldwork to understand how glaciers are responding to climate change.
She has had a life-long passion for travel and fieldwork, which all started on cold, wet hikes in the Lake District as a teenager! She has conducted fieldwork in Arctic Greenland and Canada, the European and New Zealand Alps, Antarctica and the Bhutanese and Nepalese Himalaya.
Rachel is passionate about teaching glaciology and climate change and enabling others to organise their own expeditions and fieldwork.
