Biography

Liz Bagshaw is an Associate Professor focused on Polar Environmental Change at the University of Bristol. She leads the NERC Doctoral Landscape Training Partnership and is involved in significant research projects directed towards understanding glacial environments, particularly in relation to meltwater dynamics. With a background in biogeochemistry and microbiology, Dr. Bagshaw employs innovative sensor developments in her research to explore the hydrological dynamics of fast-draining subglacial lakes beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. Her work seeks to unravel the complexities of these systems and their impacts on broader environmental shifts in polar regions. Through her projects, she aims to foster new scientific insights while training the next generation of researchers in this critical area of study.
