Liz Thomas

British Antarctic Survey, U.K.

U.K. Polar Network

APECS Career Development Coordinator 

Dr Liz Thomas is a climate change scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, investigating the recent warming on the Antarctic Peninsula using evidence obtained from ice cores. She has been fortunate to take part in two field campaigns in the Antarctic; the first as part of an international ice core drilling team that reached bedrock (~1000 m) at Berkner Island (79°S,45°W) in the summer of 2004/05 and the second leading an ice core drilling project in the Antarctic Peninsula (73°S, 70°W) in 2006/07. She has a PhD in Paleoclimatology, investigating past rapid climate change events from Greenland ice cores. She loves all aspects of polar fieldwork and is looking forward to her first trip to the Arctic in July, as chief scientists for a young explorers expedition to Svalbard, with the British Schools Exploration Society.

Get Involved!


APECS encourages all students, post-docs, early career faculty, and research associates with an interest in interdisciplinary and international polar and cryosphere research to become involved with the organization.



     Organizational and Institutional membership benefits

-    coming soon!
(as soon as we define what these groups are and why they would want to be associated with us)


     Advisory Committee Membership

Mentors from the international polar science community were invited to join the meeting to advise on structure, establishment, and funding. APECS is now seeking institutional support, including a coordination office, to help nurture this fledgling organization and bring its plans into fruition.  As a mentor, you will become part of a very talented group of international experts willing to help us with many things as we develop this organization’s full potential, as well as our individual careers and research projects.  To become a member of this committee, you can join through the website and select ‘mentor’ or contact Jenny Baeseman (jbaeseman at gmail.com).

     APECS Governance

We are in the process of developing the terms of reference, rules and procedures, and constitution for this organization. The two major groups involved with this development are the APECS Council, the governing body, and the APECS Executive Committee, which has been elected by council to draft these documents and help design the interworkings of this organization. For more information or to get involved with these activities, please contact the the APECS Executive Committee Chair, Kriss Rokkan Iversen (Kriss.Iversen_at_nfh.uit.no).
