About TJ

Dr. TJ Young serves as Lecturer in Physical Geography in the School of Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews, having joined in April 2023 after spending ten years intermittently at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. His research centers on geophysical glaciology, utilizing radar and other field-based geophysical techniques to investigate ice sheet dynamics, including englacial fabric anisotropy, subglacial hydrology, and rheological controls on ice flow. Young co-leads the Thwaites Interdisciplinary Margin Evolution (TIME) project within the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (NSF/NERC), applying polarimetric radar methods to characterize the eastern shear margin of Thwaites Glacier and assess West Antarctic Ice Sheet stability. He also leads the EGGS on TOAST (NSF) project, which examines processes at the grounding zone of Eastwind Glacier through tomographic surveys, and the upcoming IGIS (NERC) project testing subglacial groundwater influences on ice stream flow at Institute Ice Stream. As an external collaborator, he contributes to projects like AEGIR on Greenland ocean dynamics, SLIDE on subglacial lakes, and REASSESS on Greenland Ice Sheet meltwater response.
