Biography

Katie Reeves is a Teaching Fellow in Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick, specializing in environmental science with a focus on volcanoes and glaciers. She completed her BSc in Earth Environmental Science, followed by an MSc in Volcanology and Geological Hazards, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Science. Her research interests lie within the geosciences, investigating both natural and anthropogenic processes affecting the Earth and their implications for society and culture. She employs laboratory experimental approaches to examine ice sheet dynamics and the effects of climate change, particularly in relation to ice melting behaviors caused by surface particles. Katie is also interested in the contamination of ice by volcanic particles and microplastics, as well as the preservation of meteorites in Antarctic conditions. She has delivered multiple guest lectures and has taught various modules, emphasizing the connections between environmental processes and geohazards. Her work includes contributions to conferences discussing the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in higher education and the factors influencing ice melt in relation to volcanic materials.
