The Winds of Change: The effects of katabatic winds on fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier stability at Sermilik Fjord and Helheim Glacier
Katabatic winds or downslope wind events, across the southeast of Greenland, can lead to large scale changes in fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier terminus stability, but despite this few studies have investigated their wider implications. In period of rapidly retreating tidewater …

Investigation of Small Scale (<50m) Surface Features on Mars' North Polar Cap Using Data from HiRISE
… ripples found align themselves with the local katabatic winds and their changing orientations are likely subjected to katabatic jumps. Sublimation driven features, penitentes, that can form are found to orientate themselves east-west with the tilt pointing towards the equator. However, their …

Processes of stratification breakdown and restratification in Antarctic coastal polynyas
… offshore ocean currents driven by offshore katabatic winds carry some newly-formed dense water away from the polynya, weakening the destratification rate in the polynya water column. In contrast, coastal easterly winds induce onshore Ekman transport, constrain dense water outflows, and …

… forcing, linking local dynamics (e.g., katabatic winds) with large-scale teleconnections to the tropics (e.g., Rossby waves). Oxygen isotope records allow me to further investigate the relationship between West Antarctic firn-core records and temperature, precipitation origin, sea-ice …
